🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 1 cup fresh or dried cranberries  
- 2 medium apples, cored and sliced  
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup  
- 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs)  
- 1 medium onion, quartered  
- 1 teaspoon salt  
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme  
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary  
- 2 cloves garlic, minced  
- 1/2 cup apple cider or chicken broth  
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper  
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg  
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon  
- 2 tablespoons olive oil  
- Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (for garnish, optional)  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large roasting pan or ovenproof dish to prepare for the chicken.  
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry using paper towels, placing it in the roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and generously season with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make sure to rub the seasonings under the skin for maximum flavor.  
3. Add the Apples and Cranberries: Scatter the sliced apples, cranberries, minced garlic, and quartered onion around the chicken in the pan.  
4. Pour Liquid Over the Mixture: Drizzle the apple cider (or chicken broth) and honey (or maple syrup) over the apples and cranberries for added moisture.  
5. Roast the Chicken: Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through cooking to keep it moist.  
6. Rest and Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired. Serve with the roasted apples, cranberries, and onions, spooning some pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
