1⁄3 cup Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. honey
1⁄2 tsp. garlic powder
1⁄2 tsp. onion powder
1 (31⁄2-lb.) raw whole chicken
1⁄2 tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
1⁄2 tsp. ground black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
2. In a small mixing bowl whisk together mustard, honey, garlic powder, and
onion powder. Set aside.
3. Place chicken breast-side-down on a cutting board, locate the backbone,
and remove it by cutting along either side with kitchen shears.
4. Turn chicken breast-side-up and press down with your palms until chicken
lays flat.
5. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Rub mustard mixture
over entire chicken, including under the breasts, with clean or gloved
hands, until chicken is evenly coated.
6. Place chicken skin-side-up on a roasting rack and cook for 15 minutes
until skin is golden brown.
7. Lower oven to 325° F and roast an additional 35 minutes, or until the
thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 165° F.
8. Allow chicken to rest 10 minutes before carving into 6 equal servings.
9. Serve immediately, or store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days
