Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly oil a roasting pan.
Place chicken breast side down in roasting pan and roast for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Carefully turn chicken right side up and drain drippings from pan. Discard the drippings.
Meanwhile, place potatoes and carrots in a pot with enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil and cook 10 minutes. Drain and set aside until chicken has roasted one hour. After turning chicken, arrange potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and onions around chicken.
In a medium saucepan combine honey, mustard, butter, curry powder and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Drizzle sauce over chicken and vegetables.
Continue roasting 20 minutes longer or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 180 degrees. Total roasting time will be around 1 hour 20 minutes.
