Chicken with Maple and Mustard, Apples, Potatoes and Onions

Apples again. You got it!  I have been using apples in my dishes for weeks now and I’m still not tired of them.  Give me a few days.  I was recently watching an episode of the Rachael Ray Show the week I had picked what seems like 4 buckets of apples.  She was making this Roasted Maple and Mustard Chicken and my mouth started watering.  I even had every.single.ingredient on hand so I whipped it up for dinner.

My kiddo will do about anything to help me in the kitchen. Most of the time she is very active but when I have poultry, she becomes my audience.  She LOVES lemons so I gladly let her help me juice the lemon needed for the chicken.

This dish was SIMPLE to make.  There’s also a pretty good chance that I’ll be making it again through the season. Hey..I scored a crazy, good deal on whole chickens so why not make it a few more times?!?

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Cut down each side of the backbone of the chicken using poultry shears or kitchen scissors and remove. Flip chicken over and press down on breast bone to crack it.
  3. Combine in a bowl the apples with lemon zest and juice, nutmeg, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
  4. Set the chicken on a wire rack and set aside. Place potatoes and onions, and combine them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add apples and toss to combine.
  5. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and place about a tablespoon of the maple mustard butter under the skin of each breast. Rub the remainder of the butter evenly over the bird.
  6. Set the coated chicken directly on top (or on a wire rack) of the apples, potatoes and onions and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
