Roast Chicken Recipe

I have a bad habit of collecting cute notebooks of all sizes. Everytime i buy it i would imagine that i write travel journal, poem, recipe etc. But nope. I only did my travel journal for only 1 paragraph, no poem at all and my favourite recipes are everywhere. The fridge, under my bed, drawers and it got lost along the way. So this will be like a virtual future references for me and there's no harm in sharing it!
