INGREDIENT LIST

1 JAR OF FIG TAMARIND JAM (10OZ)

• 1 WHOLE CHICKEN (THAWED, GIBLETS REMOVED)

• ½ CUP OF BALSAMIC GLAZE

• 3 CLOVES OF GARLIC (MINCED)

• 3 FRESH ROSEMARY SPRIGS (DESTEMMED, MINCED)

• 2 TSP SALT

• 1 TSP PEPPER

• ½ CUP OF SOFTENED BUTTER

STEPS

1 • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2 • Mix softened butter, half the garlic and half of the rosemary together in a small bowl.

3 • Carefully separate the skin from the chicken breasts and rub butter mixture evenly onto breasts, pulling skin back over the breasts when finished.

4 • Get a small saucepan and combine the entire jar of Fig Tamarind Jam, the rest of the rosemary and garlic, salt, pepper, and balsamic glaze. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens. Remove from heat.

5 • Place chicken on roasting rack and baste with the balsamic fig glaze. Roast for 15 minutes, flip the chicken, baste again, roast for 15 mins more.

6 • Flip again so the breast side is facing up (lather it again in the fig glaze) and roast it for 30 minutes. Continually baste with fig glaze until you take it out. (You will know when to take it out when the breast meat is at 160 degrees and the thigh is at 175 degrees)

7 • Let it rest for 10 minutes, carve, and serve!
