1 (6 pound) whole roasting chicken
½ cup honey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

HONEY SPICED ROASTED CHICKEN

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 4-pound roasting chicken, rinsed, dried and giblets removed
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 lemon, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and adjust the racks to the center of the oven. Fit a roasting pan with a V-rack.
  • Mix together the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, smoked paprika and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the rosemary sprigs and lemon slices. Place the chicken in the V-rack-fitted roasting pan. Sprinkle the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Tie the drumsticks together using butcher's twine. Brush the outside of the chicken with about half of the honey glaze.
  • Transfer the chicken to the hot oven. Roast about 30 minutes, and then brush the glaze on the chicken once more. Continue to roast the chicken until the skin is golden brown and crisp , and an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of the thighs, about 45 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the honey-spice marinade, use your hands to gently massage the mixture into the chicken pieces.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally for several hours or overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more succulent.
  • Use a large baking dish to prevent the chicken from overcrowding. This will allow the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes to help create a crispy skin. Then, reduce the temperature to finish cooking the chicken through without drying it out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). This will help prevent the chicken from being undercooked or overcooked.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This honey-spice baked chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
