RecipeTips.com's Review:
"Leebay, just wanted you to know that I did adjust the cooking temperature slightly for this recipe. I lowered it to 425 degrees because in our reference material for this recipe it did indicate a cooking temperature between 425 and 450 degrees. If you followed the recipe by soaking the clay pot and starting with a cold oven, the chicken should not have dried out. Leaving it in the clay pot to cool did probably assist in drying your chicken out because of heat that the clay pot retains. The chicken continued to cook until the pot cooled down. The recipe indicates to leave it in the clay pot to serve it but thinking it was to be served immediately and that the pot would keep it warm as you ate. I realize you probably don't trust the recipe to try it again but I just thought I would pass on my thoughts."

leebay's Review:
"I just had to add to my review after doing a little homework on the temp and time this recipe recommended. Thinking this is what overcooked the chicken. This recipe says cook chicken at 450 for and hour and a half. A highly reviewed clay pot chicken recipe at the Emeril site for honey roasted lemon chicken says to bake at 400 for about the same time as this recipe, about an hour and a half. No wonder it was dry. Too high a temp at the time suggested. Do your homework on time and temp for cooking chicken in a clay pot before following this recipe. Unless you don't mind slightly moist, way overcooked chicken. Which I think is yuck."

leebay's Review:
"Fixed this tonight and following directions to a T. Chicken was WAY overcooked and breast meat extremely over done. I did let it cool in the clay pot since serving in the pot was suggested. Maybe if I'd removed the chicken before it cooled, the result wouldn't have been so dry. Consider the stuffing with onion and parsley a waste of taste and money. I would not cook in a clay pot using this recipe again."
