Ingredients

  • oz chicken free-range
  • bunch rosemary 
  • tbsp olive oil 
  •  onion whole red trimmed peeled
  • tbsp balsamic vinegar 
  • tbsp honey 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas
  2. Starting at the neck, carefully loosen the breast skin away from the flesh, trying not to tear it, then place a branch of rosemary down the side of each one.
  3. Put the rest of the rosemary in the cavity. Season the chicken inside and out, place in a roasting tin, then sit an onion in each corner of the tin.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and onions, then roast everything for 1 hr 20 mins.

  6. Remove the chicken to rest, turn the onions over and continue to roast them in the oven while the chicken rests, about 20 mins.
  7. Serve each person a portion of chicken, a roasted onion and some of the sticky pan juices.
