  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  4. Rub the honey mixture all over the chicken, making sure to cover the surface evenly.
  5. Place the lemon halves inside the cavity of the chicken. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
  6. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, basting it with the pan juices every 20 minutes.
  7. Check for doneness by ensuring the thickest part of the chicken breast reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes under a loose foil tent.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
