ROASTED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Roasted Honey Mustard Chicken image

I love a good roasted chicken, and this one is easy and delicious. After a quick prep, the marinade does its magic in the fridge until time for roasting. It's fun to dress the dish up by season based on whatever vegetables are fresh at the market. -Kara Brook, Owings Mills, Maryland
