The best chicken recipe on the Internet?

This photo is from Jamie Oliver's website.
I've seen this recipe online for some time now.  It sounds weird but in light of the fact that my new Le Creuset has been begging me to make something new, I decided to make it for once and for all.  The recipe is all over the Internet, but it is apparently credited to Jamie Oliver.  It is call Chicken in Milk and you can find the recipe here.

From what I've read, if you don't care about the skin, cook the chicken breast side down for some really fabulously juicy meat.  So that's what I did.  I also cooked it partially with the lid on, about one hour.  Then, since my chicken was 5 pounds and the original recipe calls for a 3 pound chicken, I cooked it for another 40 minutes uncovered.  I think 30 would have been enough.

This is my chicken 
It was really good.  Rachel liked it.  [Joel ate his homemade Seitan (poor boy)]....the chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful.  I would totally make it again.  I would cook for a total of 90 minutes, add a lot more sage and salt it a little more.  If you're wondering where the missing chicken wing is...........well, never mind.  Haha!

Incidentaly, I made a chicken soup over the weekend so my total usage of my Le Creuset pots is now up to 11.

Total Le Creuset uses to date:  11
Cost per usage:  $45.45
