Roasted Honey Glazed Chicken with Lemon Marinade

Roasted Honey Glazed Chicken with Lemon Marinade

I love roasting as cooking can be very easy with a Microwave Oven, more importantly, the post clean-up is definately lesser than if you have to cook over the hot stove.

Roasted Chicken is great for all type of events, festive seasons or simply just a main course across the dining table.

I believe that this recipe will be well-liked by all ages even for children as the chicken is well coated with a layer of sweet honey that complement the lemon marinade that helps to tenderise the chicken.

Ingredients

1. Half Chicken (approx 500g to 650g)
2. 2 tablespoon of Honey
3. 8 tablespoon of Lemon Juice (approx 2 Lemon, keep the Lemon Skin) 
4. 1 Egg Yolk
5. 2 tablespoon of Melted Butter
6. 4 Cloves of Garlic (Slightly Smashed with Skin)
7. 1 teaspoon of Salts
8. 1 teaspoon of Coarse Black Pepper
9. 1 teaspoon of Mixed Herbs (Rosemary, Parsley, Basil, Oregano. eg. Brand Masterfood)

Preparation

1. Marinate Chicken with Lemon Juice for 2 hours or more. If you have enough time, marinate it overnight for the best result
2. After marinated, drain the Chicken and wipe any excess Lemon Juice on the Chicken

Steps

1. Grease Olive Oil on baking tray
2. Spread Garlic and 2 Slices of Lemon Skin on the tray positioned under the Chicken
3. Rub Salt and Pepper on Chicken
4. Sprinkle Mixed Herbs on Chicken
5. Mix Egg Yolk, Butter, Honey in a mixing bowl and Spread it evenly over the chicken

Leave it for a good 20 to 30 minutes for ingredients to set into the chicken.
Preheat oven and place the chicken into the oven (220 degree celsius, approx 40 minutes).
At approx 20 minutes and 30 minutes, spread the juice from the tray onto the chicken.
Use a fork and test if the chicken is cooked and adjust the time accordingly if required.

Serve while Hot!

Good to serve as a Main Course or with some Finger food and Side.
