Whole roasted chicken glazed with sweet honey and warm curry spices creates crispy golden skin over tender meat. Clove-studded onion inside perfumes the bird as it roasts.

This Indian-inspired roast chicken pairs the sweetness of honey with aromatic curry powder for a glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.

The secret is basting every 10 minutes during the last hour. Each brush of that honey-curry mixture builds layers of flavor and creates skin that crackles when you carve.

A whole onion studded with cloves goes into the cavity, releasing its fragrance throughout the meat as it cooks.

Pro Tips

Let chicken come to room temperature before roasting for even cooking
Mix the honey and curry powder together before you start for easy basting
Save the pan drippings to make a quick gravy with a splash of cream
Use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh
