Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika to create the marinade.
- Place the whole chicken in a roasting pan and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken and rub half of the marinade under the skin, making sure to evenly distribute it over the breast and thigh meat.
- Rub the remaining marinade over the outside of the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, basting with the pan juices every 15 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, heat the honey over low heat until it becomes thin and runny.
- Brush the honey glaze over the chicken and continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve the honey glazed lemon garlic roasted chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
