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

  1. 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.

  2. Put the chicken in a preheated 355°F oven for 45 minutes and baste with the leftover marinade every 15 minutes.
