Ingredients

• 1 3-4 lbs Whole chicken
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the whole chicken under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Place the chicken on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.

Step 4

Rub the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season it generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, ensuring even coverage.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, water, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. If you're using fresh thyme, add it now.

Step 6

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the ingredients are well combined and slightly thickened. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Set the glaze aside.

Step 7

Brush half of the glaze evenly over the chicken, coating it thoroughly.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken to the preheated oven and roast for 60-75 minutes, basting it every 20 minutes with the remaining glaze.

Step 9

To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone. It should read 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Step 11

Serve the glazed roasted chicken warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
