Game of Thrones Feast Part 2: Easy Honeyed Chicken

It was hard come up with a main dish for out GOT feast (here's Part 1). Partly because we didn't want to hunt for venison and love dragons too much to eat them for dinner. So we ventured into the darkness called the internet to see what other GOT fans were cooking up in the kitchen. Luckily, there is such a thing as a Game of Thrones Food Blog so we got to work and decided to make their version of Honeyed Chicken 

Closely adapted from the original recipe found here

Ingredients: 

• 1 chicken 
• Butter (we used a little more than 1 tbs ~1/4 to 1/2 stick just enough to get the skin buttery, especially in crevices) 
• garlic salt (instead of just salt)
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (sweeter than white or malt)
• 1/3 cup honey
• Dried or fresh mint (optional)
• Craisins or raisins (1/4 cup)
• ~1tbs butter

How to (serves 4):

• Preheat oven to 450F. Place some foil on top of a roasting pan with the chicken at the center. Cover the chicken skin with butter and salt (crispy skin so work that butter!). 
• Roast the chicken for an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes, until skin is crispy and center is not pink (typically 180 celsius inside if you have a thermometer)
• To make the sauce, combine apple cider vinegar, honey and raisins in medium heat until the reduced (aka the sauce becomes a little thicker and less watery) 
• Pour sauce over chicken and season with mint as desired 

Easy! 

Winter can come now. We're ready to hibernate.
