make it
Place oven rack on lowest level. Preheat to 400°F. Spread vegetables evenly in a roasting pan. Place chicken on top. Brush chicken breast, etc. with melted butter and sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.
Place in oven and baste about every 10 min. with maple syrup. When you run out of syrup, continue basting with the pan juices. Roast until chicken is tender and crispy, golden brown, about 1 1/2 -2 hrs. The veggies will be sweet and soft.
