My version recipe that I summarized I call Valentino Especiale-- first made in a barracks microwave (though not in the whole chicken version) for my then-boyfriend, who then declared he couldn't stand chicken because of being raised on a farm and having to butcher too many of them. He kindly ate it anyway... then begged for more, and has requested ever since (oh, I should probably mentioned I married the guy!
)
Or he married you thanks to your recipes?
I've just realised, because I'm slow, that your recipe is a somewhat embellished version of what I subsequently posted: I'll have to give it a try! Happily we also have fresh chives and things, at least assuming the snow didn't kill them... (trying to retrieve them through 6" of snow for Christmas dinner was a finger-tingling experience of the worst kind!)
