Lavender And Honey Roasted Chicken

I found this burried recipe and thought instantly of our lovely french tart and simply had to post this to get her opinion on the recipe. The intro on it reads: this marinade is great for roasted chicken, duck, hens, or any poultry. the sweetness of the honey and balsamic vinegar bring out the aroma of the lavender, and create a lovely brown glaze on the bird. you may also use this as a glaze for grilling chicken pieces, but be sure to baste it near the end of the cooking time to ensure that the glaze doesn’t burn.

Steps

Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and stir thoroughly.

Preheat the oven to 350f season a whole chicken or chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

Roast the chicken for 30 minutes.

Baste with the lavender honey marinade every 5 minutes or so for an additional 30 minutes or until completely cooked.

The bird is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165f do not overcook.
