Ingredients
The following ingredients have 5 Servings
- 1 chicken
- 1 pomegranate
- 2 cups Pom (or similar) pomegranate juice
- 2 Tablespoons corn or potato starch
- 1 large bunch leeks, cleaned well and sliced into rounds
- 1-2 heads heads fennel, sliced into wedges (reserve fronds/tops and roughly chop)
- 1/4 bunch bunch tarragon, chopped
- salt
- pepper
- 3/4 cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Remove the pomegranate seeds and discard the skin*. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and sprinkle the leeks, fennel and 1/3 of the pomegranate seeds around, over it and inside the crevice. Combine the salt, pepper, olive oil and most of the tarragon and fennel fronds and in a bowl and rub it all over the chicken. Mix remaining wet ingredients in the same bowl, then whisk in the corn or potato starch until smooth. Pour over the chicken and vegetables and roast for about an hour and a half or until the skin is crispy, and when pierced with a knife, the juices of the chicken run clear. Use the rest of the pomegranates seeds as a gorgeous colorful garnish together with the extra tarragon and fennel fronds.
