Not terribly exciting this week, but I did make a GREAT roast chicken last night, so I thought I'd go ahead and post, so I could share the recipe. My 5 year old said "Mom, this is the BEST dinner I have *ever* had". :-) Course, he has been known to say that about McDonald's Chicken nuggets too, so perhaps I shouldn't let my head get too big, huh?

Here's the recipe for the roast chicken - easy and SO, so good! (I did not refrigerate mine at all beforehand, just rubbed the mixture on and roasted that baby - it was fantastic!)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
5 cloves garlic, crushed
--> -->--> DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, mix the salt, sugar, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Rub the chicken with the mixture. Cover chicken, and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
Stuff the chicken cavity with the garlic. Place the chicken, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), and continue roasting 15 minutes. Baste chicken with pan drippings, reduce heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), and continue roasting 30 minutes, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Let stand 20 minutes before serving. --> -->--> NOTES
