Maple Garlic Roast Chicken

Erik Waring • May 31, 2020

1  Whole Chicken, 3 - 4 lbs.

1/4  cup Vermont maple syrup (Dark Robust)
1  Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
Ground Allspice, dash 

2 to 3  garlic cloves
1 tsp. kosher salt
Pepper to taste

1. Crush the Garlic and Salt in a mortar and pestle until it forms a paste, set it aside. 

2. Mix together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and allspice  in a small bowl, set aside.


3. Clean the chicken inside and out by running it under cold water, pat dry, and season inside and out with fresh ground pepper.


4. Rub garlic paste over the chicken inside and out, place chicken in a roasting pan.


5. Pour water into roasting pan until 1/4" deep.

Cook in a preheated 350-degree F oven uncovered, brushing the chicken with the maple mixture every half hour  for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken (not touching bone) reads 165 degrees.  (cooking time depends on the size of the chicken)

Ingredients 4 cups blueberries, plus more for serving (I used Strawberries and it was delicious) 1/4 cup granulated maple sugar Juice and zest of 1 lemon 3 cups heavy cream 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk Instructions In a food processor or blender, puree blueberries then transfer to a medium saucepan. Working over medium heat, add Maple sugar, lemon juice and zest. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and place in refrigerator to chill, 1 to 2 hours. In a larger bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined, then fold in the chilled blueberry puree. Transfer to 9"x 5" loaf pan and freeze until firm, about 5 hours.
