Here is a simple recipe using clear heather honey and other flavours to create a tasty roast chicken dish. While heather honey is the best, other clear honey will suffice.
| Ingredients |
- One whole chicken, minus giblets
- 3 fluid ounces (90ml or under half a cup) light cooking oil
- 4 fluid ounces (125g or half cup) clear heather honey
- Salt and pepper (freshly ground black pepper if you have it)
- 3 ounces (100g) French mustard
- Half teaspoon curry powder (yes, curry powder)
- One clove chopped garlic
| Method |
Place the chicken in an oven-proof casserole dish. Mix all the other ingredients together and pour over the chicken. Cover the dish and cook in a pre-heated oven at 375F/190C/Gas Mark 4 for an hour. Baste the chicken thoroughly with the juices and sauce and return to the oven for another half hour uncovered. The chicken will brown as a result. Serve with boiled or creamed/mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
