Cider-Roasted Chicken image

I'VE never shared this recipe before, even with members of my own family. I use it only for special occasions such as Christmas. I found the recipe in the first real good cookbook I owned, and my six children love it. I've also been inspired to enter cooking contests and have won several times. -Mary Dunphy, Stephenville, Newfoundland

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry, and the marinade didn't really add much flavor. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cider-based marinade gave it a nice flavor.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less maple syrup.

This recipe was very easy to put together, and the chicken came out perfectly golden brown and juicy. The flavors of the cider, apples, and onions were a perfect combination.

Very good! I did not have apple cider, so I used apple juice concentrate in water (to taste). I also used mixed dried fruit I had on hand instead of the raisins and dried cherries. It came out delicious!
