Cooking Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 180*c.
2 Place nectarines in a baking dish and cook until they are caramelized, about 10 minutes.
3 Remove from the oven and place in a bowl. Add verjuice, honey, olive oil and 1 Tablespoon of rosemary. Season and blend until smooth. Use this as basting sauce.
4 Mix butter with 2 Tablespoon of chopped rosemary and smear the outside of the chicken, including under the skin of the breast.
5 Squeeze lemons over the chicken and place the lemon halves inside the chicken’s cavity.
6 Roast chicken for about 50 minutes, basting every 10 minutes or so with the basting sauce until cooked and skin is caramelized.
