• Place the chicken on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.

SUCCULENT HONEY & LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan180C. Squeeze the juice from 2 lemons into a small pan and heat with the butter, honey, rosemary, garlic and salt and pepper, until the butter melts and it smells fragrant.
• Lay the chicken in a roasting tin - don't pile it up or it won't cook so well. Add the potatoes and drizzle with lemon butter to coat evenly. Cut the third lemon into 8 wedges and tuck them in. (Can be made up to 2 hours ahead up to this point.)

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Mix the butter with minced rosemary, 3 cloves of minced garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
• Pat the chicken dry and rub half of the butter, garlic and lemon zest mixture under the skin and the rest over the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Generously season cavity of chicken with salt and pepper and stuff with lemon half, ½ head of garlic, 2-3 quarters of onion and 2 rosemary sprigs.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH A HONEY-LEMON BASTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius.
• Use a plump chicken, and remove any loose fat. Keep whole.
• Mix the lemon juice, honey and mustard in a small bowl, heat slightly in a microwave, then whisk to mix.
• Add the chopped rosemary to the basting sauce.
• *Use a high quality, tangy and grainy mustard.
• Put the chicken in an oven dish into which it will fit fairly snugly.
• Using a brush, brush the chicken all over, under the wings, along the sides, with the marinade. The leftover marinade goes into the cavity -- turn the chicken round to spread it.
• Now sprinkle chicken all over and in cavity with a seasoning salt of your choice. (I use a sea salt to which fine dried herbs have been added).
• Don't add any water or oil, as the chicken is just fine as it is, as long as it's not a thin, blue-tinged bird!
• Cover chicken lightly -- don't tuck in -- with foil, as the marinade burns easily. Put into oven.
• Take OFF the foil after 45 minutes, and let the chicken brown well. Don't let it burn.
• Depending on weight chicken is done in 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve with baby potatoes in the skin and vegetables of your choice, plus a mixed green salad.
