Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   6

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, softened
5 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary, divided
1 roasting chicken (6 to 7 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 medium apples, peeled and cubed
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
 
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine butter and 3 teaspoons rosemary. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Rub butter mixture over chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine the apples, onion, cranberries, 3/4 cup broth, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon rosemary; place around chicken.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour. Pour apple juice over chicken. Bake 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting every 30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving chicken.
Pour drippings and apple mixture into a blender; skim fat. Cover and process until blended. Transfer to a large saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, honey and remaining broth and rosemary; heat through. Serve with chicken. Yield- 6 servings (5 cups gravy).
