Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure it's at the right temperature when your chicken is ready to go in.
- Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Season the inside and outside generously with salt and pepper.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Mix well until the ingredients are well combined.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan or baking dish.
- Pour the honey mixture over the chicken, using a brush or your hands to evenly coat the entire chicken, including the cavity.
- Place the chicken in the preheated oven.
- Roast the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured at the thickest part of the thigh. Baste the chicken with its juices every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist and enhance the flavor.
- While the chicken is roasting, heat the chicken gravy in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally to keep it warm.
- About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, remove the chicken from the oven and baste it generously with the chicken gravy. This will add an extra layer of flavor and ensure the chicken is nice and juicy.
- Return the chicken to the oven and finish roasting until fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added aroma and presentation.
- Serve the hot honey roast chicken with the remaining warm chicken gravy on the side.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken is at room temperature before cooking to promote even cooking.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to achieve a crispy skin.
- You can add additional herbs like rosemary or thyme inside the cavity for enhanced flavor.
- Rest the chicken for at least 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Pair the dish with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
