ROSEMARY-BLUEBERRY SAUCE
Not too sweet, nice slightly resinous flavor from the rosemary. A little lemon zest or even a bit of chile pepper would be a good addition. From"Herbivoracious", by Michael Natkin, who recommends this sauce for blintzes or vanilla ice cream. Also good on cornmeal pancakes. If you like a fruity sauce with duck, a little of this would be nice. Fresh rosemary is a must, dried leaves would be too intense.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan set over medium heat. When the mixture reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally. Taste and add more minced rosemary, if necessary, and continue simmering the sauce until the blueberries have mostly broken down and it is thick enough, in between a syrup and a jam (test the cooled consistency by dropping a bit on a chilled saucer).
- Serve immediately or let it cool and store it in the fridge for several days.

Tips:
- To achieve crispy skin on your chicken, pat it dry with paper towels before searing. This will help remove excess moisture and allow the skin to brown more easily.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of sear, resulting in soggy skin.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet to sear the chicken. This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Sear the chicken over medium-high heat until the skin is golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven until cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, make the blueberry sauce. Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the chicken with the blueberry sauce and enjoy!
Conclusion:
This rosemary chicken with blueberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, while the blueberry sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
