DELICIOUS! I roasted two bone-in, skin-on breasts, one acorn squash cut into wedges, one butternut squash cut into chunks, and used fresh thyme ~ I salted and peppered the squash, before roasting. My 15"x10" was completely filled! The maple syrup taste was barely noticeable! Made for P-A-R-T-Y 2011!

Yum! The maple syrup on the chicken with the thyme was great. We used only one buttercup squash. Next time I'll salt the squash after I place it in the pan with the chicken. This was super easy and made with ingredients I had on hand. Thanks for posting.
