Servings: persons

3 1/2 - 4 lbs roasting chickens
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 medium onions, peeled, quartered through the root
1 large carrot, peeled, halved crosswise, and quartered lengthwise (about 4 ounces)
2 medium parsnips, peeled, halved crosswise, and quartered lengthwise (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
4 whole cloves (the spice, not garlic)
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 cups light stock (chicken, turkey, or vegetable)
1 1/2 cups flavorful beer or 1 1/2 cups ale
1 cup apple cider, preferably unfiltered

1
Arrange a rack in the center of the oven; reheat to 400u00b0.
2
Trim excess fat from the chicken and season it inside and out with 1 teaspoon salt.
3
Scatter the onions, carrot, parsnips, sage, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a 6-quart ovenproof pot (such as an enameled cast iron pot); sprinkle over this the rest of the salt, and set the chicken on top of the vegetables.
4
Put the pot on the stove, pour in the stock, beer, and apple cider, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
5
Cook, uncovered, for about 15 minutes on top of the stove.
6
Put the pot in the oven, and roast the chicken for about 30 minutes, basting with the pan juices two or three times.
7
Cover the chicken with a sheet of foil to prevent overbrowning, and roast another 30 minutes.
8
Remove the foil, and roast another 20-30 minutes, basting frequently, until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through and tender.
9
Remove the chicken to a warm platter, and surround with the vegetables.
10
Bring the pan juices to a boil on top of the stove, and cook until reduced by half.
11
Carve the chicken at the table, and spoon some of the pan juices on top.
