Recipe ingredients
- 3 red apples, unpeeled, quartered
- 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/2 lemon, squeezed
- 1 chicken, for roasting
- 1 medium-size carrot, cut into 2.5-cm (1-in) pieces
- 1 small onion roughly cut
- 1 celery stick, cut into 2.5-cm (1-in) pieces
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Irresistibles* extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Irresistibles* paprika
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) apple wort
- 1 cup (250 mL) chicken stock*
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 170ºC (325ºF).
Place the apples and sprigs of rosemary in a bowl and pour over lemon juice.
Stuff the chicken with the vegetables. Add 3 apple quarters. Tie the chicken to keep the stuffing inside the cavity.
In a roaster, place the chicken, brush the skin with oil, sprinkle with paprika, salt and pepper.
Cook for approximately 1 hour 10 minutes then add the remaining apple quarters and continue cooking for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 82ºC (180ºF).
Baste the chicken with the cooking juices at regular intervals.
Take the chicken out of the oven and put to one side.
Drain the apples and add the sprigs of rosemary. Put to one side.
With a wooden spoon, deglaze the cooking juices on a low heat with the apple wort and chicken stock.
Scrape until all the juices have dissolved. Simmer and reduce for several minutes. Sieve the sauce.
Serve pieces of chicken on the apple quarters and top with the sauce.
