How to Make Balsamic Glazed Roasted Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Season one whole chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs) generously with 1 teaspoon of dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
- Rub 1 teaspoon of dried thyme all over the chicken.
- Place the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Begin baking for 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of your favorite jelly (e.g., cranberry, grape), 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
- Heat the glaze over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the jelly is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
- After 30 minutes of baking, start brushing the chicken generously with the balsamic glaze. Continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, basting with glaze every 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the juices run clear.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
