Mayo and Herb Roasted Chicken
"This mayo and herb roasted chicken is incredibly tasty and probably the juiciest chicken I have ever made, and if you know me, I eat a LOT of chicken! There is something about chicken, that makes this protein so versatile. And since this winter does not want to go away, (seriously what is it about that??? Is it just me or is this the longest winter ever?) All I want to do is stay in the house and cook, and then cook some more!"
