Why this recipe existsThis meal is meant for weekends when the whole family can get together… and eat in peace.

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Place the chicken on the middle rack.

Grease a slightly deeper baking dish with oil.

Wash the chicken with lukewarm water, trim it, and pat it dry with paper towels.

Season the inside with pepper and salt…

Peel the onion and slice it as thinly as possible.

Place the chicken neatly in the baking dish.

Turn the breasts toward the top.

Coat the breasts and thighs well with butter.

Then season the outside with spices.

Next, sprinkle rosemary on top. Place everything in the preheated oven for 80 minutes…

 

Halfway through baking, prepare the apples.

Wash them thoroughly, remove the cores and seeds, and place them around the chicken…

After 80 minutes, check to see if the chicken is cooked through…. (That is, pierce it with a fork and open it up a little to see if the meat is still pink.) If it isn’t, return it to the oven for another 10–15 minutes.

Then wrap it loosely in aluminum foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes…

 

To serve the roasted chicken, cut it into small pieces and serve it with the roasted apples.
