FOOD INSPIRATION DURING THE TIME OF THE CORONAVIRUS
A good roast chicken makes almost anything possible. It's great for company or a comfort food meal at home. This is one of my favorite recipes. It's a whole meal in one roasting pan.
This takes about 20 minutes of prep time, requires 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the oven and serves 4 people.
