"This is a great tasting roasted chicken recipe we really enjoy. The maple and garlic go well together. The skin turns out crispy and delicious, you cannot resist peeling it off the flesh and eating it all up. The flesh turns out moist and flavourful."

Rub the garlic paste over the chicken outside and inside of chicken and place in a roasting pan.

Pour enough water to come up about a quarter inch of the bottom of roasting pan.
