Roasted Chicken with Orange Blossom Honey
~adapted from Charlie Trotter by Fancy Toast
1 cup orange blossom honey
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 3-4 pound chicken
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
The honey glaze creates a deliciously crispy skin. Even if you don’t eat the skin, prepare it this way, and the meat underneath remains moist and flavorful.
Glaze:
Place honey and stock in small saucepan and whisk over medium heat for 5 minutes, until smooth.
Bird:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place bird in roasting rack in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Generously brush the glaze all over the chicken and roast for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the juices run clear (if using smaller birds, less time will be needed). Brush on additional glaze every 15 minutes during the roasting. Remove from oven, let rest for 10 minutes, then carve.
Gone celebrating! Hiccup!
