The other day, I was boiling apples, an orange, cinnamon sticks and some star anise to make my house smell like fall. It was so lovely and I ended up making a hot apple tea in the process. Not quite hot apple cider but still warm and comforting.

Harvest Roast Chicken

As I was placing the ingredients into my pot, I thought, why not roast my chicken with all of this? These elements are working as aromatics and gave my roast chicken and perfect flavor and smell. I use two sticks of butter and lots of garlic so don’t throw out the lovely fat, garlic and butter sauce that will full your pan. Drizzle this loveliness all over your chicken and enjoy. Also, with the addition of the apples and cinnamon sticks, you get a lovely slight sweetness as well. I hope you enjoy!

Harvest Roast Chicken

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time50 mins
Total Time55 mins
Course: Main
Cuisine: Chicken
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1 3 to 4 lb. whole chicken
  • 1 orange cut in half crosswise
  • 2 heads of garlic unpeeled, cut in half crosswise
  • 1 apple cut into slices
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter melted
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley diced

Instructions

  • Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat your to 425 degrees. Place whole chicken on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Transfer chicken breast side up to a large cast iron skillet or baking dish. Arrange orange and garlic heads cut sides down in the skillet around the chicken. Arrange apple slices and cinnamon sticks and cloves around and slightly tucked under the chicken as well.
  • Drizzle the melted butter all over the chicken, and season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the diced parsley.
  • Transfer to oven and roast until chicken is nicely browned and cooked through, checking for doneness after about 45 to 50 minutes. To check, carefully remove skillet from oven, poke a knife into leg joints, and pierce the meat. If juices run clear, chicken is done. If you see a rosy pink color, it needs more time. Continue to roast, checking every 5 minutes, until juices run clear.
  • Let chicken rest in skillet for at least 15 minutes before carving. Transfer chicken to a platter. Top with pan juices and serve with the roasted apples and garlic. Enjoy!

      Hi Toby! I guess I equate all things “fall” with the word “harvest.”

    I’m a novice. I’ve never cooked a whole chicken. Do you have to gut it before you place in the oven?

      Hi Crystal, the ones you buy from the grocery store have already done that for you. You don’t have to do anything. I put carefully remove mine from the wrap and pat dry with paper towels. I would suggest buying an organic whole chicken.
