Sweet and Sour in Boston

I tried to make roasted chicken this past Sunday using a Gordon Hamersley's recipe I found online:

It turned out pretty good, but not as great as I think it can be. Next time I'll probably do a brine the night before.

I roasted some potatoes with garlic and onions as well as a side dish. This turned out well too, but it gave the plate a very plain look. I was too lazy to do a pan sauce, but it wouldn't have been too tough.
