Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub evenly under chicken skin. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; roast skin side up until skin is golden brown and meat is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add sage and remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme; cook 1 minute. Add broth; simmer until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Strain mixture; return to saucepan.
- Add cranberries and sugar; boil until berries burst, 5 to 8 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture; return to a boil. Cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat (sauce will thicken as it stands). Season with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon sauce over chicken.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
- To make the sauce ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- When you're ready to serve the sauce, reheat it gently over low heat until warmed through.
- Serve the cranberry sauce with chicken, turkey, or pork. It's also great on waffles, pancakes, or French toast.
- If you want a sweeter sauce, add more sugar to taste. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a more festive flavor.
Conclusion:
