Gleaned from Searchable Online Archive of Recipes:

Italian Roasted Chicken

4 lb Rosting chicken

2 garlic cloves, chopped

Salt & pepper to taste (one presumes since there are no measurements)

4 T Butter or olive oil

1/2 cup Red wine vinegar

5 potatoes, quartered

1.5 cups raisins

1.5 cups Romano cheese, grated

1.5 cups Pignoli nuts

2 Tablespoons Basil

Cut chicken into serving pieces, wash and dry thoroughly.  Butter roasting
pan, arrange potatoes around outer edge of pan; add chicken, lay pieces
skin side down.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, parsley, chopped garlic,
raisins, Romano, nuts, and basil.  Put dabs of butter on chicken, then
sprinkle with vinegar.  Bake in preheated oven 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Since my search for Pignoli nuts got me nowhere and I'm not a big fan of
raisins, the recipe will be changed accordingly.

Thanks to everyone for the help.
