Garlic-Roasted Chicken

By Addie

This roasted chicken is one I usually serve as a "treat" supper on weekends. I'll also make it sometimes for company. Everyone says they love it—there rarely are any leftovers. —Michelle Bouchard, St. Jean-Baptiste, Manitoba

Ingredients

• 6 medium chicken drumsticks
• 6 bone-in chicken thighs
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 12 extra-large unpeeled garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup honey

Preparation

Step 1

Place the chicken, potatoes and garlic in a large roasting pan. Pour butter over all and sprinkle with salt.


Bake at 400° for 40-45 minutes or until a thermometer reaches 180°, basting frequently with the pan juices. Heat honey; drizzle over chicken. Remove the chicken, potatoes and garlic to a serving platter; keep warm. Pour drippings and loosened brown bits into a small bowl; skim fat. Serve with chicken, potatoes and garlic. Yield: 6 servings.

REVIEWS:

I just didn't get the honey in this recipe. I peeled my garlic since I couldn't understand why you wouldn't.

This was a really easy recipe. It was very flavorful too! My kids loved it!

I would make again...it's important to baste frequently so it gets nice and brown. Had to leave my chicken in close to an hour. Next time will I make a gravy with all the brown bits.
