Robin's Honey Chicken

16 oz bottle of honey (clover is very tasty!)

Whole chicken, about 3 1/2 lbs fresh

Set oven temp to 350 degrees. Wash chicken under cold water. Pat dry with paper towel. Place in roaster pan or ceramic/corning bake ware that has a lid. Pour honey over chicken; cover and bake. Baste every 20-30 minutes and cover again with more honey. Bird will be done when a leg can be pulled off.

If you want to cook a frozen bird: turn temp down after 1 1/2 hours to 275 degrees and finish cooking, until leg can be pulled off. (Meanwhile, keep basting from juices at bottom of pan and each time cover again with honey).

If cooking a larger bird, say 6 1/2 lbs:

Oven temp: 350. Baste every 30 minutes and cover again with honey. Bird will be done in about 4 hours, or when the leg pulls off. If frozen: turn temp down after 2 hours to 300 degrees and finish cooking about 2 1/2-3 more hours, until leg can be pulled off. Enjoy!
