First Time, and A Roast Chicken

I've fallen ill to the world of blogs. After spending endless hours reading the wonderful food blogs out there, I've decided to start my own.

A few days ago I decided to tackle the frozen chicken I've had sitting away. 

Inspired by a recipe in my Williams Sonoma Cookbook, I did a variation of their apple and sage roasted chicken. So simple and it was the best chicken I've ever had. 

Simply rub the inside with lemon squeezing it as you go, then leave the wedge in there, throw in some celery, apple, onion and then your sage. In this case I used thyme, as I prefer it. Cook breast down at first, then flip and finish off. 

I served it with braised fennel. So tasty!

Best thing though, use the carcass to make broth and then a tasty chicken soup!
