Prep time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Serves 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- salt & pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 minced clove of garlic
- enough chicken for 2 people (I use two 1/4 chickens)
Directions
-
Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. (Toss the empty bean pod in a bowl of sugar to make vanilla sugar, so as not to waste.) Mix the vanilla seeds together with the rest of the ingredients (minus the chicken) in a large bowl. Toss in chicken parts and rub the marinade all over the chicken. I let it marinate for a couple of hours, but I’ve also given it just a half hour to marinate with great results. The longer you let it marinate, the more flavourful it is.
-
Put the chicken in a preheated 355°F oven for 45 minutes and baste with the leftover marinade every 15 minutes.
