Ingredients:
– 1 whole chicken, about 4-5 pounds
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare a roasting pan by greasing it lightly with oil or cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. This will be the sticky glaze for your chicken.
3. Place the whole chicken on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the chicken generously inside and out with salt and pepper.
4. Using a basting brush or spoon, generously brush the sticky glaze all over the chicken, making sure to coat it evenly.
5. Place the chicken breast side up in the prepared roasting pan and cover loosely with foil.
6. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
7. After 2 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Continue to roast the chicken for an additional 30 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving.
9. Carve the chicken into pieces and serve with any remaining sticky glaze from the pan drizzled on top. Enjoy your delicious Slow Roasted Sticky Chicken with your favorite sides!
