Roast Chicken in a Clay Baker. That was my mission. A couple of weeks ago, while perusing the isles of my local thrift store, I scored this amazing Romertopf Clay Baker.  I knew at that moment my first dish baked in this vessel would be Roast Chicken.  As I’ve commented on in the past we cook a whole chicken almost every week.  We change up our recipes and cooking methods and it’s always delicious.
