Put a couple of the quartered onion and apple pieces into the chicken.
Add the rest of the apples and onions to the your roasting pan.
Place the chicken in the roasting pan.
Heat the apple cider until it starts to simmer, let it simmer for 5 minutes. Pour it around and some over the chicken. Just be careful, you don’t want all the herbs and butter coming off!
