super moist bacon roasted chicken
(3 ratings)
I read some place that if you put strips of bacon over the top of a chicken before baking it would be very moist. So tonight I tried it. The chicken was so good and extremely moist and juicy everyone enjoyed it.I placed a small cut up apple and a stalk of celery into the cavity, which gave it a wonderful taste.
