Ingredients-
- 4-6 lb pound whole chicken
- 1 T soft butter
- cinnamon
- chili powder
- garlic powder
- ground cumin
- 1 head of garlic, sliced crosswise
- 2 or 3 leeks, sliced 1 inch slices
- 2 fennel bulbs, cut in half & sliced in wedges
- olive oil
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
Instructions-
Toss veggies in a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Add to a roasting pan.

Pop that baby in a 400 degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours.
This looks awesome!! I must try it next weekend.
looks so yummy – will give it a try – my roasted chickens always turn out “boiled” tasting – i like the crisp crust!
