WOW!! What a great chicken recipe. My family devoured the whole chicken and asked that I make this again. The flavor combination is great. Very easy to make too. I'm going to try the seasonings on pork too since it makes more than enough. Thanks for sharing this recipe Mark.

This is very tasty. I made with cut up roaster instead of whole chicken. Marinted all day. I used 1 tablespoon each of the seasoning and it was the perfect amount. Deeelicious !

Tasty Tasty Tasty! We cooked two 3 pound chickens. Only made up half the marinade amount (2 cups Italian Dressing - Golden and Zesty combo and 1/2 cup lemon juice) The seasoning was sensational. Would definitely make again.
