Ingredients
  

For the Honey-Herb Glazed Chicken
  • 1 whole chicken about 4-5 lbs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
For the Vegetables
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 4 carrots cut into thick sticks
  • 2 cups baby potatoes halved
For Garnish
  • Fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Large Roasting Tray
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Step 2: Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a large roasting tray.
  3. Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Step 4: Pour half of the honey-herb mixture over the chicken, using a brush or your hands to coat it evenly. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
  5. Step 5: Surround the chicken with lemon slices, onion quarters, carrot sticks, and halved baby potatoes. Drizzle the remaining honey-herb glaze over the vegetables and toss to coat.
  6. Step 6: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Step 7: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to retain the chicken's juiciness.
