Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

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.
