By Lail Hossain
There is a universal appeal of roasted chicken for its comforting nature. Baked chicken dinners are a weeknight favorite in my family. Juicy, tender roasted chicken is time saving and hard to resist after a long day. A comforting dish you will always want to come back to over and over and with clementine in season, this is the perfect time to try this roasted chicken recipe using some citrus flavor.
When it comes to cooking and buying meat, I always chose Halal, meaning permissible. When choosing meat, I also look for all natural, 100% vegetarian fed, antibiotic free, preservative free, hormone free meat products. I know it is a tall order but it is not an unreasonable one. I came across Crescent Foods Chicken and never turned back.
A couple of simple ingredients and great chicken are all you need to make this recipe. With no-fuss preparation, this roasted chicken with clementine is the juiciest recipe ever.
