How to Make Balsamic Glazed Roasted Chicken

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. 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.
  4. Rub 1 teaspoon of dried thyme all over the chicken.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Begin baking for 30 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. Heat the glaze over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the jelly is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
  8. 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.
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
