"This has been one of the go-to recipes I have used for years. It is amazing! From my Napa Valley loving in-laws, to last minute company, to my 8 siblings showing up, to a quick family dinner, we all love it. If you haven't tried this, please do! I only thought of writing this because I am making it yet again tonight......... for my picky 6 kids""

"I went through my freezer and couldn't find any more duck - I processed my own last year - so did this with a whole chicken instead. As someone else noted, I couldn't find green peppercorns so used caper brine instead. I have made roast chicken this way ever since! Delicious! I brine the chicken all day or overnight. Even my picky child likes it - and I have 6 kids. Thanks for another great recipe Alex."
