Apple Cider Roasted Chicken
On Sunday, I had this brilliant idea to roast a whole chicken. I had never cooked a whole chicken before, but it sounded like a good idea to try during one of our Sunday family dinners with the Hungry Trio. When I thought about a flavor profile for this meal, I had apples on my…
