How to make Roast chicken with winter fruits

  • Yield : 8
  • Prep Time : 1:00
  • Cook Time : 3:05
  • Total Time : 4:05

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons thyme leaves, chopped
  • 3 thyme sprigs, extra
  • 100g unsalted butter, softened, chopped
  • 4kg Milking Yard Farm Sommerlad breed whole chicken (see notes)
  • 2/3 cup (100g) frozen cranberries, thawed
  • 2 pears, quartered
  • 2 red apples, cut into thick wedges
  • 4 plums, halved
  • 2 red onions, cut into thick wedges
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup
  • 2 cups (500ml) Massel chicken style liquid stock
  • Sage leaves, fried, to serve (optional)

Method

  • Step 1 Preheat oven to 160C. Combine thyme leaves and butter in a bowl. Carefully run your hand under chicken breast and thigh to loosen skin, being careful not to tear skin. Rub butter onto breast and thigh under skin, spreading to coat evenly. Season, then tie legs together with kitchen string. Place in a large flameproof roasting pan and cover pan with a sheet of baking paper, then a sheet of foil. Roast for 2 hours.
  • Step 2 Meanwhile, place fruit, onion and maple syrup in a bowl. Season and toss to combine. Remove chicken from oven and discard foil and baking paper. Arrange fruit and onion around chicken, then scatter with extra thyme sprigs. Bake, turning fruit mixture twice, for a further 45 minutes or until the chicken breast registers 70C with a kitchen thermometer and juices run clear when the thickest part of the chicken thigh is pierced with a skewer. Transfer chicken and fruit to a platter. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 15 minutes.
  • Step 3 Skim excess fat from pan and discard. Return pan to medium heat. Add stock and bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12 minutes or until jus is thickened and reduced. Season.
  • Step 4 Serve the chicken with roasted fruit, onion, jus and fried sage leaves, if using.
