Sprinkle with remaining sage and thyme. Scatter the remaining apples,and onions around the bird, tossing lightly to coat with pan drippings. Add wine and roast the chicken another 20 minutes. Baste bird and toss the apples and onions again for even browning. Continue to roast until juices run clear. Remove from oven and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Arrange the apples and onions around the chicken. Remove any excess fat from the pan juices. Add the apple cider and place the pan over medium high heat. Scrape the bottom of the pan and then pour the juices over the chicken, apples and onions. Reserve some pan juices to be served in gravy boat.
