Roasted Cider Chicken with Ginger and Apples

Chicken is so mild that I make it with different seasonings and flavorings all the time, just to change up my menu and keep it interesting. Because of the combo of apples and honey, this Roasted Cider Chicken with Ginger and Apples is a family favorite for Rosh Hashanah, but it’s also perfect all through the Fall. The juices have a faint flavor of spice and go beautifully on top of plain rice or egg noodles.

Fresh ginger perks up the rather mild-mannered fruit, so I often pair it with pears like in this recipe for Pear and Ginger Crisp.
