Pimiento Cheese Roasted Chicken Recipe

Pimiento cheese may not be one of the typical ingredients you reach for when you’re ready to roast a chicken, but hey—don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. This cooking method produces an insanely succulent, juicy bird with golden-crisp skin. You could also apply the same technique to individual skin-on thighs or breasts, as opposed to roasting the whole chicken.
