    I thought this sounded kind of weird but gave it a try anyway. It was such a pleasant surprise! I cut back on the cinnamon by tasting the herb rub until it had a good balance to me. I would absolutely make this again. - 12/2/14

    I served 1/4 of a hen as a 3 0z. serving rather than an entire hen, and combined it with the apple-cornbread stuffing listed here. As an entree for a Mother's Day dinner. Mom and the rest of us really enjoyed it. - 5/13/12

    If you like cinnamon this is a nice change to roast chicken, very tasty. - 10/11/18

    This was a hit. I didn't have the garlic powder or Italian herbs, so I substituted Mrs. Dash in place of both. We are on low sodium diets so no salt. So good.... I tried the oil rub on salmon too and substituted a touch of the oil with pure maple syrup. Perfect! Hubby was in heaven. - 3/3/18
