Calories: 400kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)
  • ½ cup Cairo Apiaries Honey
  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 teaspoon pimento
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Rinse the chicken thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
  • Make the Marinade:
    In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground pimento, dried thyme, chopped Scotch bonnet pepper, onion, grated ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, orange juice, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well to create a flavourful marinade.
  • Marinate the Chicken:
    Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated both inside and out. For the best flavour, let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour. If time allows, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare the Honey Glaze:
    In a small saucepan, combine Cairo Apiaries Honey and olive oil. Warm over low heat until the honey is melted and well combined with the oil. Remove from heat.
  • Roast the Chicken:
    Place the marinated chicken in the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour. Baste the chicken every 20 minutes with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
    After 1 hour, brush the honey glaze generously over the chicken. Continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes, basting occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve:
    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
