Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) . Line a baking tray with parchment paper and grease a large baking dish. Rinse the chicken or the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with a kitchen towel.
Place the chicken breast-side up in the baking dish. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, melted butter, honey, lemon juice, and chopped garlic. Mix well to create a smooth glaze
Rub the glaze all over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Rub some glaze under the skin and inside the cavity for extra flavor
Stuff the chicken cavity with the peeled small onions and chopped green onions. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour 25 minutes, with the legs pointing toward the back of the oven. Baste the chicken halfway through cooking with the pan juices
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before carving. Serve warm with your favorite sides
Tips and Substitutions
- Add dried thyme, rosemary, or parsley to the glaze for an aromatic twist
- Mix chili flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper into the glaze for a spicy-sweet balance
- Replace half the lemon juice with orange juice for a sweeter, citrusy flavor
- Use boneless, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts instead of a whole chicken. Adjust cooking time to about 30-40 minutes depending on the cut
- Add chopped root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, parsnips) around the chicken in the baking dish for a one-pan meal
