Crispy Skin, insanely juicy insides, bursting with juice and flavor, a hint of spice from the mustard, a subtle bit of savory heat from the cumin and a whole ton of juicy deliciousness from the combination of ingredients; this chicken is easily the most amazing roast chicken that I’ve ever eaten, much less made.
I am contemplating twisting this recipe into a beer can chicken recipe to see how it does on the grill.
Normally, my random recipes are spurred on by some ingredient in my pantry or something in a magazine, this time… it was inspired by a coupon. This coupon to be exact: 
Princess and I are both a bit of what you might call.. umm… mustard addicts, so you dangle a mustard coupon in my face and tack the word spicy onto it and I’m pretty much a goner.
Part of my H-E-B Meal Maker Challenge is to incorporate the Combo Locos, Online Coupons and such into making lunches and dinners easier during the back to school time, this coupon made it sort of ridiculously easy.
I took the spicy mustard and incorporated it into a glaze/marinade to make one of the easiest and most delicious roasted chickens ever.

Roasted Chicken With Honey, Lime, Garlic, Spicy Mustard Glaze
- One 5 to 6lb whole fryer chicken
- 1 very full to overflowing Tbsp Spicy Mustard (see pic above)
- 1/2 C honey
- The juice of 6 limes (about 1/2 C fresh squeezed juice)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- Remove the “innards” from the chicken, rinse and pat dry
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F
- Mix the honey, lime juice, cumin, garlic and mustard
- Gently, using your fingers, separate the skin from the body of the chicken
- Using a turkey baster, insert half the mixture in between the body of the chicken and the skin
- Place the chicken on a roasting rack
- Pour the remaining lime/honey/garlic/cumin mixture over the chicken, add 1 C water to the mixture in the roasting pan
- Roast for 2 – 3 hours. Baste every 30 minutes or so until golden brown (about 1 hour)
- Once the chicken is golden brown, cover with an aluminum foil tent and roast until the internal temperature reaches 180 (continuing to baste every 30 minutes or so)
- Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes.

Once the chicken has rested it’s ready to cut, be prepared. This is, I kid you not, the juiciest chicken ever. Just look at the following picture, if you don’t believe me
Do you see all the juices coursing out of that chicken?????
The taste, more than you can imagine.
So here’s how this makes life easier:
- This chicken was ridiculously easy to make
- Crazy delicious leftovers make for ridiculous chicken salad and
- The carcass can be used to make Heather’s Homemade Chicken Stock
Y’all, trust me, this chicken… you want to make it.

Kristina - Rachel – I’m so glad to know there are more mustard addicts out there in this world. I have a shameful amount of jars of various mustard in my fridge.
I rarely use coupons unless it’s for a product I always buy or something that I’d like to try. I buy so much of my food from the farmers market this time of year and unfortunately, they don’t take coupons. But I do use them when I can to help our budget out!

Kristia@FamilyBalanceSheet - That chicken looks delicious.
I don’t use too many coupons. I maybe average $5 in coupons a week. I don’t buy too many processed foods, so the coupons I use are for toilet paper, diapers, detergent.
THanks for the linky.

Chick Hatchers - Oh that chicken looks SsssoooooO good! Just as soon as fall hits and I am willing to use the oven for hours, I will be trying this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Coupons do influence me. I buy the products with the lowest prices, whether it be generic, sale or with a coupon (ideally, combined with a sale!) I usually try new products with introductory coupons, too. Groceries are so expensive where I live and I just don’t understand it. Just a couple hours west of me the prices are much lower.

Amy - I “like” HEB on facebook!
Rose in Ohio (@RoseMillsOhio) - I definitely use coupons, and will try almost any new product if I have a high-value coupon for it. The stores where I shop always double coupons, too, so that makes couponing even more advantageous.
I always feel rotten when I leave my coupons at home and have to purchase something at full price.

Virginia Carroll - I made this this last night for tonight’s dinner! I tried a bite and it was so delicious, thanks for the recipe! I did make a few changes:
1. I used Zatarain’s Creole Mustard instead of spicy brown. It was what I had on hand.
2. I doubled the mixture.
3. After I mixed all the ingredients, I strained out the garlic and mustard bits, and used my turkey injector to inject the mixture into the chicken. Then, I took the garlic and bits and spread them under and on top of the skin.
4. I can’t use my oven for extended periods in the summer (my kitchen is like a furnace), so I put it in the crockpot. I’m serving this with baked red potato fries and I plan on throwing the skin in the oven to crisp tonight.
Rachel - GREAT ideas! Thank you so much for sharing your tweaks!
