“Did I ever tell you how much I love chicken? Well, this recipe is a great one – and you wouldn’t believe how simple it is,” Darius says. “No, really – it’s so easy. You literally dump a bunch of herbs into a blender with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Then, you rub it real good on the chicken and under then skin. Then, you roast it – that’s it. Simple, right?”
