The Feast of Fall: Whole Roasted Chicken with Garlic Cinnamon!

       I work at the wonderland of foods, and every morning I am awakened not by the smell of coffee, but fresh roasted chicken! The aroma is so tempting, sometimes I feel like eating the chicken right away. Too bad my dress shirt and the name badge preventing me from doing so. So tonight when I went home I made a revenge and put the chicken on the table for our dinner! Only this time its Home made.

      I was having a difficult time to decide what to put on my chicken. I feel like putting toppings for pizza, sometimes I get too carried away and ended up with something more elaborate than I thought. This time I promised myself to keep it simple and nice.

The ultimate Fall Feast

 So it came down to 4basic ingredients and 1 special superstar: garlic, pepper, salt, olive oil, lemon juice and cinnamon! I decided the later ingredients because I have been infatuated by its warmth.

I also had a chance to cut up some nice vegetables from the farmers market. My  best favourite is the yellow carrots! They are sweet and crunchy. I also paired them with honeyed peppered pumpkin as accompaniment for the chicken.
