Vanilla and Maple Glazed Roast Chicken

I had often thought that vanilla would roast with meats beautifully when combined with the right flavours. Here I pair vanilla with maple syrup, chilli, thyme, olive oil, and red wine vinegar to roast the perfect chicken. It really is a very easy recipe and one that will shine on your Christmas lunch table.
