Nana’s Roast Chicken

Please excuse the sub-par image; but my mama’s in town and whipped up one of her signature dishes and it needed to be shared in time for your weekly dinners. I think we really just need to start a series called “In the Kitchen with Kath.” She really is a culinary whiz, and does have a few novice-friendly recipes up her sleeve for those less gifted than she.

This roast chicken dish is one such easy meals- perfect for a weeknight dinner with the family. I’ve made it a few times without her, but I left the cooking to the expert tonight- the whole family loved it, and it left the house smelling delish.

Hope you enjoy, and be sure to tag me in your pics of the finished product!
