2. Separately slice the apples (it's better to peel them first). I cooked chicken with apples in the oven at home according to a classic recipe.

3. Place peeled and sliced apples and onion rings inside the chicken cavity. Then, secure with toothpicks or sew it shut. Be sure to tie the legs together and place the chicken into a roasting bag. This is necessary to keep the chicken juicy. Remove the roasting bag ten minutes before the chicken is done to allow the chicken to brown.

4. Roast the chicken in the oven for about 2.5 hours at 180 degrees. If you decided to bake it without a roasting bag, just on a baking tray, baste it every half hour with the rendered fat—this will make it juicy and give it a nice color. Let it rest on a serving dish for about ten minutes after cooking. You can place the chicken on lettuce leaves and surround it with sliced vegetables. Serve it this way at a festive or lunch table; it's very easy to carve (using a knife or kitchen scissors).
