Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook as desired (I baked mine in a preheated 350°F oven for about 30 minutes). You can bake them, pan fry them, grill, or poach. Whatever you prefer.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce. In a small sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add wine, syrup, and cranberries. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat slightly (medium-high heat). Cook for five minutes, stirring.
- Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl with a whisk or a fork. While stirring sauce, stir in cornstarch/water mixture, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for about a minute or until thickened. Serve sauce over cooked chicken.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH MAPLE BUTTER AND ROSEMARY
This simple roast chicken combines the classic fall flavors of maple and rosemary with melted butter, which is basted over the bird as it cooks to keep it juicy. The butter browns slightly and helps caramelize the outside thanks to the sugars in the maple syrup. The result is a fragrant, sweet-and-salty chicken that makes the house smell great. There will be plenty of buttery pan juices left over, which you should most certainly pass around the table, but they would also be delicious spooned over rice pilaf.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pat the chicken dry and season it well with salt and pepper, both inside and out. Place the chicken breast-side up in a 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet and stuff the rosemary sprigs into the bird's cavity.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the chopped rosemary and the maple syrup, and cook together until the rosemary is fragrant and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon all of the mixture over the chicken, making sure it is evenly covered. A decent amount will end up on the bottom of the pan, and that's O.K.
- Roast the chicken, basting with the pan juices every 15 to 20 minutes or so, until the chicken is glossy and golden brown and registers 165 degrees with an instant thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh, about 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste an additional time, if desired. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving. Whisk remaining juice and pass at the table.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries, and they hold their shape better when cooked. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Make the maple cranberry sauce ahead of time. The maple cranberry sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before carving. Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
Chicken with maple cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the maple cranberry sauce is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
