One common thread that connects the Duchess of Cambridge and the Food Network star is their love of one particular hearty and tasty recipe: roast chicken.
The recipe is the most popular of her published works and is a favorite of Garten’s husband, Jeffrey.

Garten’s recipe is a classic, packing a minimum of ingredients into a recipe that results in maximum flavor.
However, according to a story published by Vanity Fair, Middleton has her own version of the family-friendly recipe, and it is reportedly one of Prince William’s favorite meals.
Ina Garten has also influenced another famous royal couple
While appearing on Sunday Today with Willie Geist, Garten discussed Prince Harry’s and Meghan Markle’s infamous proposal.
Markle shared that she made Garten’s roast chicken for dinner one evening. A proposal from the Duke of Sussex followed the meal.
“I do know that she liked to cook my roast chicken, which we call engagement chicken because whenever you make it, somebody asks you to marry them,” Garten told Geist.
He suggested that Garten was “responsible” for the royal wedding.
Garten joked, “Oh, without me, it would’ve never have happened.”
