Oven-roasted chicken with a sticky Ustawi pure Kenyan honey and herb glaze — a 45-minute family meal using raw local honey.
Ustawi pure Kenyan honey is raw and unprocessed, so it keeps its aroma and caramelises beautifully under the grill. This is the simplest way to use it in cooking: a two-ingredient glaze brushed on towards the end of roasting.
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper and season all over with salt and pepper. Dry skin is what gives you crispy results.
Rub the chicken with oil and place it in a roasting tin. Roast for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the honey, soy sauce, garlic and herbs in a small bowl.
Take the chicken out and brush the glaze generously over the skin. Return to the oven.
Roast for a further 10 minutes, brushing with the glaze once more halfway through, until the skin is golden and the juices run clear.
Rest for 5 minutes before carving. Spoon over any pan juices to serve.
