Honey has to be the number one ingredient at Rosh Hashonah and this chicken enjoys a tasty combination of both sweetness and spice for the New Year celebrations. It is a slightly different way of flavouring a roasting chicken and I like to serve it with crispy citrus roast potatoes.
~ Requiring just 10 minutes to prepare, it is a tasty family meal that everyone will enjoy.
