Roast Chicken with Cranberry Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue roasting for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- While the chicken is roasting, prepare the cranberry sauce. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of cranberries, 1/2 cup of orange juice, 1/2 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
- Serve the roast chicken with the cranberry sauce on the side. Enjoy!
