Recipe Description: 

A simple roasted chicken when it is juicy and tender is so delicious. Roasting stove top in the Grand Gourmet is easy and quick. Split a whole chicken, season generously and it’s done in 60 minutes. Natural pan juices, fresh herbs and baby tomato make a delicious and light sauce to serve along with it. Pair this with your favorite rice dish or a crusty loaf of sourdough bread.
