"I guess I just made something that I knew he would love," Blunt said while on the "River Cafe Table 4" podcast.

"A roast chicken, who doesn't love roast chicken? The roast chicken I love is Ina Garten's roast chicken," the "Devil Wears Prada" star continued. "It's called her ‘Engagement Chicken' because I think when people make it for people they get engaged or something."

Well, it certainly seemed to work for Blunt. She and the "Office" star have been married for more than a decade, have done two "A Quiet Place" movies together and share two daughters, 7-year-old Hazel and 5-year-old Violet.

So, what's the recipe?

"Lemon, garlic, onions up the chicken, thyme, salt and pepper, all that," she said. "You scatter onions around the chicken, but you pack them in really tight into the tray. And then you roast them really high [for] about an hour and 20 minutes and they're done and they're perfect."

"When you take the chickens out, you then kind of sauté in some wine and some butter into that oniony, garlicy mixture," she added. "Oh my God, it's divine. It's really sticky and yummy."
