Can't remember where I got this recipe...from a magazine...an article on Sunday dinners. I am always looking for easy and delicious recipes...here's one...it has been in my recipe binder for about two years...finally got around to using it and will use it regularly now that I have done it once. Sunday seems to be a day when there is time to enjoy cooking and celebrating. Yippee, it's Sunday! No big plans...time to do what pleases you..my uncle said it was time for your soul to catch up with your body. Wise man.
This is a great idea for two persons or a family on Sunday. If you are only two people, you can eat chicken all week long for sandwiches or whatever. It cooks for a long time and comes out moist and fabulous.
Buy two chickens while you are at it...why not?
They look beautiful in the pan for one thing and that is reason enough...
Oven 375 preheated
2 small chickens with nicely tied legs
mix 1/4 cup butter with 1 tbsp whole grain mustard and rub paste all over chickens and sprinkle with S&P
roast 30 minutes on lowest rack in oven
brush any remaining butter/mustard on chicken and roast another 1 1/4 hrs
baste chicken and sprinkle on 2 tbsp chopped sage and 1 tsp fresh thyme
chop 1 apple, 1 onion, 2 celery stalks into 2" pieces with 2 cloves garlic and 1 tbsp chopped sage and scatter around birds tossing lightly with pan juices
Add 1/4 cup white wine
roast chicken another 20 minutes
continue to roast until juices run clear
remove chickens and apples and onions to a platter leaving juices behind in pan
Jus
tip pan and remove any excess fat...add 3/4 cup apple cider over medium heat
scrape bottom of pan with wooden spoon
pour over platter of chicken and apples and onions
Yum Yum Yum
