Ingredients

Honey Mustard Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon seedy brown mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 whole chicken 4.5 to 5 pounds

Honey Mustard Glaze for Serving

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon seedy brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Honey Mustard mMarinade

  1. Whisk together all the ingredients until combined. Rub the chicken inside and out with the marinade, place in an airtight container like a casserole pan wrapped in plastic wrap or a large ziplock bag and refrigerate overnight.

For roasting in a pan:

  1. When you’re ready to make the chicken, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.Truss the chicken and place it in a small lipped roasting pan. Add 3/4 cup water mixed with 1 teaspoon salt to the pan and place it in the oven. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 and baste the bird. Continue roasting until the internal temperature of the thigh joint reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit + the juices run clear, about 60 minutes more. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.

For roasting in a rotisserie oven:

  1. Preheat the rotisserie oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit on the jagged top heat setting. Truss the chicken + mount it on the rotisserie skewer. Attach the rotisserie skewer to the rotisserie function in the oven, close the oven, and cook until the internal temperature of the thigh joint reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit + the juices run clear, about 45 to 60 minutes. Make sure to have a lipped pan on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any juices that drip from the chicken as it roasts. Remove the chicken and allow the bird to rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.

Serving with the Glaze

  1. Whisk together the honey mustard glaze ingredients and serve alongside the roast chicken for dipping.
