Roasted Chicken and Plums image

Roast some of the plums alongside the chicken. The remaining plums should be roasted on a separate baking sheet for a side dish.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 whole chickens (about 4 pounds each)
Sea salt, preferably Maldon
10 sprigs rosemary
3 pounds small plums, halved and pitted
1/4 cup honey
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chickens with salt. Stuff each cavity with 2 sprigs rosemary. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place each chicken in an ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron), and place 2 sprigs rosemary around each chicken. (Alternatively, you can also roast the 2 chickens together in a roasting pan.) Toss plums with honey in a large bowl.
  • Roast chickens for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and scatter some of the plums around chickens. Return to oven, and roast for 20 minutes more. Spread remaining plums on a rimmed baking sheet, dot with butter, and top with remaining 2 sprigs rosemary. Transfer to oven. Continue to roast chickens until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees; meanwhile, roast plums until soft and brown around edges, about 25 minutes. Let chickens rest for 10 minutes before serving.

I'm not a big fan of plums, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the plums added a nice touch of sweetness. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the plums were bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the plums were delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time or using a different cooking method.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less plums or adding some sour fruit, like cranberries, to balance out the sweetness.

This was my first time cooking chicken with plums, and I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was cooked evenly. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender and moist. The plums added a nice touch of sweetness and tartness.
