1 teaspoon dried sage

1clove garlic, crushed

2 cups chicken broth

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine butter, sage, garlic and pepper. Carefully

Spread half of the herb mixture under chicken skin; rub the rest on top. Sprinkle with rosemary. 

Place yellow onion in chicken cavity and tie legs together with kitchen string.

Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and pour broth into pan. Cover pan with foil and roast for 1 hour.

Uncover chicken and roast until juices run clear when meat is pierced, about 40 minutes longer. 

Transfer to a serving dish. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, place the parboiled new potatoes, peppers, zucchini and red onion slices on a separate baking tray. 

Drizzle with the oil and then roast for 40 minutes until cooked and crisp around the edges.

Arrange the vegetables around the chicken and garnish with the parsley.
