Ingredients
Serves 4 - 6
2 large onions
1 large whole chicken (approx. 1.9kg)
60g unsalted butter
2 unwaxed lemons, halved, juiced
4 dried bay leaves
2 ½ tbsp clear honey
2 large onions
1 large whole chicken (approx. 1.9kg)
60g unsalted butter
2 unwaxed lemons, halved, juiced
4 dried bay leaves
2 ½ tbsp clear honey
Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
2. Slice the onions and place in a roasting tray.
3. Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper and rub all over with the butter and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place on top of the onions and squeeze over the juice from the lemons. Put the lemon halves in the cavity of the chicken, along with the bay leaves.
4. Drizzle the chicken with the honey and roast for 1 hr 10 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices from the thickest part of the thigh run clear. If browning too quickly, cover with foil.
5. Once cooked, carve and serve with vegetables of your choice.
Note
You can store the cooked, cooled chicken in the juices from the roasting tin to keep moist. Keeps chilled for up to 3 days.

that does seem very tasty. I have everything but honey. But there are a shop. :)
Roast Chicken is such a delicious and comforting meal. The addition of honey sounds good.
Time to fire up the oven and get roasting! Thanks for another great recipe. Diane
This looks wonderful! I have a turkey breast for Thanksgiving this year. I could probably adapt this recipe to fit, but will definitely keep it for the next time we roast a chicken. Thanks Jan and all the best :)
We might do roast chicken for Thanksgiving -- with just two of us this year, a turkey is way too big!
Me parece que tiene que estar riquĂsimo. Besos.
