Easy Homemade Honey Roast chicken recipe

Lemon juice is a marinade for roasting this easy chicken with crispy skin and a honey glaze. The sweet coating is formed by grilling with honey.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ kg 1 large whole chicken
• 2 large onions
• 2 ½ tbsp clear honey
• 60g unsalted butter
• 4 dried bay leaves
• 2 unwaxed lemons, halved, juiced

Instruction:

1. Set the oven’s temperature to gas 200°C, and fan 180°C.
2. Cut onion into slices and place on roasting pan.
3. Use paper towels to pat the chicken dry before applying the butter and salt, and pepper inside and out. Place there and squeeze the juice from the lemons over the onions. Place the bay leaves and lemon half in the chicken’s breast.
4. Honey drizzled over the chicken before roasting it for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until it is fully cooked and the juices from the deepest portion of the thigh flow clear. Cover with foil if it is browning too soon. After moving the chickens to a cutting board, let them for 15 minutes to rest. Serve and enjoy.
