PROS

This recipe is quick and easy to make, and you can adjust the spice level to your liking.

The chicken turns out moist and flavorful, with a crispy skin.

CONS

This recipe uses a fair amount of butter and mayonnaise, which can be high in fat.

Also, roasting a whole chicken can be time-consuming and requires attention to avoid overcooking or undercooking the meat.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chicken is an excellent source of protein, and it contains many essential vitamins and minerals, such as niacin, vitamin B6, and phosphorus.
However, consuming too much saturated fat, which is found in butter and mayonnaise, can increase the risk of heart disease. Moderation is key in consuming this dish.
