Yes, surprisingly good, but be aware that you have to open the bag after a while.

I remember these were popular some years ago. Have tried them, nothing special really, factory bred, not much flavour. You're better off buying a better quality small chicken and putting it in foil with some herbs etc. Then remove the top half of the foil for last 10 minutes to brown it.

Yes, if you are a versed cook ... like me
But our Dave said he wanted it quick and easy.
Today's offerings in the major supers taste quite good, one follows the simple instructions on the packaging, meal ready.

Yeah, can understand that but is it any easier than putting a chicken in foil?

They are, the herbs are already there, it creates a ballon where it cooks very well

Well, for Dave it would save time in Googling what herbs to buy, how long to cook the chicken for, at what temperature, etc.
It's only easy when you know how to do it
Oh, and maybe @Dave7 doesn't have any foil at home either, so he would need to buy it and the spices, and maybe the oil/butter too? And seasoning!
Faster and probably cheaper in a bag

Its so long since I ate a 'decent' chicken, I wonder how different it would be ?
We generally buy Asda chicken, they're perfectly alright, taste like chicken, roast normally, you could add herbs etc...or not.
We have had a couple roast in the bag ones, again, perfectly alright with the added bonus of herbs already added. Again, perfectly good fit the price....plus no need to bother with foil, lids etc.
One day...I might buy a 'decent' chicken, I might be really missing out ?

I know the argument for these easy cooks foods, they're convenient, no mess, no fuss and they taste okay.
When I was working I'm sure they'd be on shopping list occasionally but when you have time on your hands as I suspect our Dave has isn't it fun to do some research and make something yourself? But maybe he and others doesn't like cooking or can't be bothered, in which case I'm sure they're a godsend.

Maybe fun isn't at the forefront of Dave's mind at the moment and he just wants a quick fix decent meal.
