Recipe View Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Baste occasionally during roasting to maintain the glaze. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).

Recipe View Remove the chicken from the oven, tent it loosely with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.

For an extra layer of flavor, tuck a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme under the chicken's skin before roasting.
If the chicken skin starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil to prevent burning.
Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
The honey-spice mixture can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
