Actually, she copied Kate. Kate was known for always roasting Will his favorite: chicken. It was long-talked about throughout their early engagement.


Because no one ever cooked the chicken before Kate. Gotcha

No the flavor is better if you roast it whole. I stuff a lemon, galic, onion and fresh poultry herbs in the cavity so it infuses the whole bird.


And how would you stuff it if you don't roast it whole?


compound butter between skin and meat

I’d say you played chicken with your boyfriend. Engagement ultimatum is a form of chicken.

No idea. My DH flew me on a surprise trip to Europe to propose and from there I was flown down to the Islands to celebrate with his long-time friend. I was 26 and it was amazing. Snow fall at a grand hotel looking out the window at the lit up Cathedral and Christmas market.

I didn't sell myself. Let the men do the chasing.
