Lemon BBQ Roast Chicken

Come to Mama, baby. Come. To. Mama.

I have told yall before that I can't carve worth a cent. This time was no exception. But lemme tell you, I didn't need to carve, it tasted just as scrumptious having been mutilated by yours truly. If I could have I would have just buried my face into this bird, sinking my teeth into this tangy juciness. But, that's not very lady-like. Not very Hollis-like. Uh,Right.

*Sigh* A girl can dream, can't she?

Make this soon. You need to.
