Just about any time of the year, a whole roasted chicken is a dish to remember. But, we also wanted to make something different this time, and we surely nailed it. We brought a Middle Eastern twist to the recipe, so we've coated the chicken with lots of exotic fragrances and we've served it with some saffron-flavored rice.
