Roasted Chicken with a Sweet Kick

Roasted Chicken with Apples:

Ahhh yes, the classic chicken... dried, overly chewy, tough, and almost inedible and flavorless. Yeah... if you are worried about making sad and sorry chicken then please try this recipe.

For the Chicken itself:
1 WHOLE CHICKEN (YEAH BABY)

2 Tblspn Honey with 1 Tablespoon of Vinegar mixed with 1 cup of water (that has been heated to a boiling point)
1 Tblspn regular honey
1 Spring Onion Smashed and Chopped
1 Table spoon 5 spice Powder mixed with Black Pepper Corns and 2 Tablespoons of salt and toast it until you can smell the pepper. (Yes Whole Peppercorns)
2 Grannysmith Apples (skinned and cored)

Ok, clean out the chicken: guts, gizzards and all. Then, spice up the exterior of the chicken by rubbing it with the scallions/ spring onion, and the salt/5 spice/ and pepper corn mixture. Then Use the honey vinegar mixture (while it is still boiling hot) and scald the chicken's skin to make it tighten up. This will not only create a very crispy skin but also seal in the juices. Afterwards, stuff with the remaining scallions, and the salt mixture rubbing it down well on the inside and let it rest up in the fridge for an hour or overnight. Once you are ready to cook preheat the oven to 350ºF, cut up the granny smith apple into wedges and stuff them into the chicken and cook. breast side down first for 30 minutes. Then, flip it over and cook for an additional 30-40 minutes with the breast side up. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes before serving.

Enjoy, I really loved testing this recipe out and I had ALOT of leftovers so i'm sure there will be a leftover's blog coming up soon.
