Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, 2 to 3 pounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 3 lemons
- 2 medium onions
- 1 head garlic
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Rinse the chicken and pat dry.
Place the chicken, breast side down, in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and honey, sprinkle with salt, and stuff with 1 of the whole lemons. Cut the remaining 2 lemons in half and place in the corners of the baking dish. Cut the onions in half (leaving the skin on) and place alongside the lemon halves. Break the head of garlic apart (leaving the skin on) and scatter the cloves around the baking dish.
Bake the chicken for 50 to 60 minutes, until the skin is well browned. Increase the heat to 450 degrees fahrenheit, turn the chicken breast side up, and bake for about 15 more minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh reads 170 degrees fahrenheit to 180 degrees fahrenheit.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Carve the chicken, drizzle with the pan juices, and serve.
