Pomegranate Glazed Roasted Chiken

Many times I get asked if I cook all the time, or if I cook every day? I think perception that many of my friends have is that I make these elaborate meals daily and serve it to my family while we all dressed in a formal attire:)))))
The trick is planning it in advance, buying fresh ingredients to maximize the flavor and come up with dishes that you can cook simultaneously. I cook most days, but its not very complicated and many times just takes a few minutes to prepare and the rest of the work is done by the oven!

Today is a simple diner night, which means minimal effort for maximum flavor as always. I bought this wonderful item at Trader Joe's called pomegranate glaze and tried in on a few different ingredients. I really like the crust if forms in the oven and use it for both marinating and glazing. I bought whole organic chicken cut up in pieces. (save time it is all cut up for you in a best way) Wash it thoroughly and pat dry.


Place in in oven prof casserole dish sprinkle with salt and pepper and glaze if with pomegranate glaze generously.




If you have extra time before diner let it stand for at least half an hour if not place it in 400 degrees oven and roast for one hour and a half. Check periodically to make sure it doesn't burn on all sides. Half way through roasting glaze it again.

Enjoy and Happy Eating!
