Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Honey Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the honey is melted and the glaze is well combined.
- After the chicken has roasted for 45 minutes, brush the honey glaze all over the chicken. Return the chicken to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°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 rosemary roasted chicken with the remaining honey glaze on the side. Enjoy!
The history of Rosemary Roasted Chicken with honey glaze dates back to ancient Mediterranean cuisine, where the combination of rosemary and honey was revered for its aromatic and sweet flavors. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The dish has become a staple in Italian and French culinary traditions, with variations found in Tuscany and Provence. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the quality of the ingredients, particularly the fresh rosemary and locally sourced honey. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate balsamic vinegar into the honey glaze for added depth of flavor. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in rustic farm-to-table restaurants that prioritize organic, free-range chicken and artisanal honey. The succulent, tender meat infused with the earthy aroma of rosemary and the sweet, sticky glaze creates a harmonious balance of flavors that is truly irresistible.
