This is another wonderful roasted chicken with a myriad of delectables stuffed under the skin and inside the bird itself. The name comes from the red sundried tomatoes, the white garlic and the choice selection of fresh green herbs blended with butter and distributed underneath the skin in delicious complex harmony. This is a quicker version of my usual roasted chickens

    For a great and tasty meal idea, stuff a whole wheat pita with cubed chicken, spinach, red onions, sliced olives and feta. Douse with oil and vinegar for a Mediterranean Festival of flavoration!!
