Rosemary Roasted Chicken With Applesauce
This Rosemary Roasted Chicken With Applesauce is so juicy and flavorful. Easy to make and definitely a crowd pleaser! Pair off with a homemade roasted applesauce and you’re taste buds will be very excited. The skin of the chicken crisps up nicely in the oven, while the meat stays tender and juicy. No dry chicken allowed in my house!
The applesauce is unique because it bakes off at the same time as the chicken, so it gives them time to caramelize and concentrate its earthy taste.
I mashed them at the end with a potato masher for a rustic texture instead of mushy and watery. This recipe is truly easy to make and yet so flavorful. Simple enough for a weeknight dinner and elegant enough for entertaining. Doesn’t that chicken look stunning?
But wait, you haven’t heard the entire good news: This WHOLE dish costs $10 or less to make. Yup, you read that right. It’s part of the Cooking With Curtis campaign at Winn Dixie.
Every week, Chef Curtis Stone will feature a different delicious recipes that are easy to prepare, healthy, delicious and of course, affordable. You can find the recipe cards and all the instructions at the entrance of the store and all the ingredients to make it are easily displayed. How cool is that?
So imagine making a chef inspired gourmet dinner for your family and still pay less than $10. You can’t get that at any restaurant. Since this month is October, chef Curtis is all about apples!
They are delicious and of course, in season. Starting today, the recipe of the week is this Rosemary Roasted Chicken With Applesauce.
To make it, simply head on over to your local Winn Dixie and purchase the following ingredients:
The secret behind this juicy moist chicken? A delicious garlic rosemary butter that is spread on the outside and between the meat and the skin of the breast. While the bird roasts, the butter melts into the skin and makes it brown and crisp while the garlic rosemary penetrates the meat and makes it super delicious.
I love this Rosemary Roasted Chicken With Applesauce and can’t wait what Chef Curtis comes up next week. So head on over to Winn Dixie and cook this for your family.
I hope you can try this delicious Rosemary Roasted Chicken With Applesauce at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
- pound One 4- whole chicken rinsed

In a small bowl, mix the butter, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Using kitchen twine, tie the chicken legs together. Roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until it is golden and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F.
