Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- One 4-pound roasting chicken, rinsed, dried and giblets removed
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 lemon, sliced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and adjust the racks to the center of the oven. Fit a roasting pan with a V-rack.
Mix together the honey, olive oil, cinnamon, smoked paprika and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the rosemary sprigs and lemon slices. Place the chicken in the V-rack-fitted roasting pan. Sprinkle the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Tie the drumsticks together using butcher's twine. Brush the outside of the chicken with about half of the honey glaze.
Transfer the chicken to the hot oven. Roast about 30 minutes, and then brush the glaze on the chicken once more. Continue to roast the chicken until the skin is golden brown and HYPERLINK "http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/crisp/index.html" crisp , and an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of the thighs, about 45 minutes longer.

I love this recipe but I will have to use a bigger chicken next time because I wasn't the only one in my house who love it

Love, Love Loved this recipe! I tried this recipe today, and I must say it was delicious! My whole entire family enjoyed it and was a big hit! My father, a huge food critic; gave it two thumbs up! I was concerned when I made the glaze; how thick it was (even with the olive oil and fearful it would not paste evenly on the chicken. It worked well, as the chicken was a gorgeous roasted color. I actually use orange slices in the cavity of the chicken which made a great addition! I will be using this recipe again! Great Job, Pat and Gina!!!!!
