Believe it or not, this meal was the first time I’ve ever roasted a whole chicken.  All-in-all, it turned out pretty well.  I followed Melissa Clark’s recipe very closely, but I roasted the chicken upside down.  Whoops. My favorite part of the dish was the roasted veggies– especially the carrots, garbanzo beans and cauliflower.  They were so, so good.  I would highly recommend this recipe, just make sure you roast your chicken breast side up.
