  • 1 teaspoon ground sage + more for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon thyme + more for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary + more for sprinkling
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 4-5 lb chicken

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Toss the potatoes, apples, sage, thyme, rosemary, vinegar, and salt in the roasting pan.

  • Remove any gizzards and organs from the chicken’s cavity and set aside. We’ll use later for soup! 🙂
    1 4-5 lb chicken
  • Rinse the chicken and lay in the roasting pan on top of the potatoes pushing some aside so it’s flat in the pan. We need to cover it later.
  • Stuff the apple cores into the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt, sage, rosemary and thyme.
  • Cover and place in the preheated oven for 1 and half hours. There’s no need to check on it. If you don’t have a cover, aluminum foil should work.
  • After the 1.5 hours, remove the cover, toss the potatoes, and raise the temperature to 425 degrees.
  • Roast for an additional 30-45 minutes until the temperature of chicken is 165 degrees, skin is golden brown, and juices run clear when pierced. My bird was 4.89 pounds and took the whole 45 minutes.
  • I served the chicken alongside the potatoes and apples plus some fresh roasted asparagus.
