Author Notes
This is a great fall recipe we love to make after a day of apple picking at Carter Mountain Orchard. It is my variation of an old roast chicken recipe that was cut from a magazine and stuffed in my recipe box. My favorite part is the beautiful golden color of the sauce. It's best when prepared as is but in a pinch you can substitute chopped garlic for whole cloves and heavy cream for the creme fraiche. —Lori
