Tuscan Whole Chicken

Tuscan-Whole-Chicken
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a roasted chicken cooking in your kitchen. This meal is a crowd pleaser and looks so great as you serve it up. The tender chicken paired with the roasted potatoes that are cooked along side the chicken and infused with the juices of the chicken is the ultimate comfort food.
