Chicken Roast in Oven

Hope you guys had a wonderful Eid. About year ago I posted traditional way to cook chicken roast. But I get mixed impression for it. Some said about too many ingredients. Some said too length process. Some said its too old. So I think to make it the way to fit our modern (pardon I wanted to say abroad kitchen). So this roast will be in oven. You can marinate chicken with all spices and bake it for 1 hour to make it simpler. But I spent some time on it and took out it from oven twice to make it perfect. I used cream in this recipe, if you dont have cream, boil half litre milk and when it reduced to 300 ml , use it instead of cream. Hope you like my recipe and don’t forget to like facebook page. Thanks.
