i modified slightly the recipe from bill granger's bills food. i love the recipe as it is pretty simple to make and the actual hands-on preparation work is perhaps just 10 - 15 mins. i get raves where ever i serve the chicken. i hope you will like it. i sometimes serve it with roasted butternut squash. my friend saw the legs tied with kitchen twine and screamed
