- 4 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Pour half of the vinegar into the chicken's cavity. Season with salt and pepper, then bake it for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Mix the remaining vinegar, maple syrup, cinnamon and sesame in a small bowl.
- After 70 minutes of baking, remove the chicken from the oven and brush it all over with the glaze.
- Bake for 10 minutes more, then brush again with the remaining glaze and roast for another 10 minutes.
- Check that the chicken is cooked through properly by inserting a skewer in the area where the thigh meets the carcass (if the juice coming out of it is clear, the chicken is cooked through.)
- Rest the chicken for 10 minutes (under cover) before carving and serving.
