Thanks for your kind words, but credit for this one goes to James Ingram. My chicken tasted amazing but was not worthy of a photo shoot.

Wow that really looks appetizing, It’s really great to have shared your recipe but what made me hungry is the way you’ve presented it, it looks so irresistible.

Hi Elle,

Sorry you’re having issues with this recipe. I roasted the chicken in a standard roasting pan with the lid on. I didn’t baste the chicken or even lift the cover during the whole time. It came out moist thanks to the bed of apples, onions and apple cider.

Hope this helps! Thanks for asking such a good question and good luck with your chicken.

Please help! I’m trying to make this recipe, but wondered if while roasting, do you keep it covered or uncovered? Also, should I be basting with chicken stock? I’m not getting any ju ices from the chicken! I’ve never roasted chickens before and would gratefully appreciate you’re help!
thanks

Apples are amazing in this dish. I honestly didn’t think something so simple could be so good.

I love lemon and chicken, too, but didn’t feel the need to add lemon to this one. Now you’ve got me wondering whether a splash of lemon juice along with the apple cider would be a nice touch…

Apples? Fantastic idea. I always throw a lemon attacked by a fork inside my roast chicken, but I might have to try this next time.

Glad to know I’m not the only food blogger to fall victim to her stomach. I will NOT be taking photos of Christmas dinner. But the pre-made goodies? Maybe…

I had never heard of this technique and am so please it was successful. Some of my “unique” dishes don’t always go over big.

I wasn’t sure if I’d like the combination but it was delicious. Not sure I want to roast a plain old chicken ever again. Chef Smith wins a special place in my heart with this one, for sure.
