Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 - 5 # chicken giblets removed
  • salt and pepper as needed
  • zest of one orange
  • juice of half an orange
  • 1 tsp - dried fennel
  • 1/3 cup - honey
  • 2 tbsp - unsalted butter room temperature
  • handful of parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  2. Remove the giblets and any excess fat from the chicken. Make sure the bird is thoroughly dry by patting the inside and outside dry with a towel. Rub the softened butter on the skin and under.
  3. Combine the honey, zest, fennel, and orange juice. Brush the mixture over the chicken. I made sure to add a bit of the mixture inside the cavity and underneath the skin. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the orange rind in the cavity of the bird along with a handful of parsley.
  5. Roast the bird until golden brown for approximately 1 hour. The internal temperature reaches 165F. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
