Honey Roasted Chicken

 

1 whole chicken, cut-up
juice of 1 orange
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce

In a bowl, mix orange juice, honey and soy until honey is dissolved.
Pre-heat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Wash, dry and cut-up chicken (or have the butcher do the cutting). (Save chicken carcass for soup or stock) Baste both sides with the honey liquid. Bake, on a roasting rack, for 60-80 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 185℉ and the chicken is crispy, basting every 10 minutes. Watch carefully that it does not burn, the sugar in the honey makes it more likely to burn than normal chicken.

Because the temperature must be kept a bit lower to avoid the sugary honey burning this chicken takes a little longer than usual to cook.

Basting so frequently may seem like a pain but it produces a lovely, crsipy skin.

Nice accompaniments are roasted root vegetables or rich, buttery mashed potatoes.
