Roasted Cranberry Chicken

Every time I hear someone complain about the cold weather, I cringe a little.  The truth is, I really don't mind the cold weather.  In fact, I love the festive atmosphere of fall and winter, the delicious traditional holiday food (mmm...pumpkin pie!), and not to mention I was a winter baby, which I think means I am pretty much obligated to like winter.

One of my favorite things about the cooler weather is that cranberries are now back in season!  I have been waiting for months to finally get to make this Roasted Cranberry Chicken - a recipe that has become a favorite since I discovered it last year.  It is easy, requires little prep, and the sauce is sweet and flavorful.  The thyme adds a deliciously fine touch.  This recipe will definitely be making a regular appearance on my dinner plate this fall and winter!
