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.

Yum! That chicken looks “Mouthwatering” and what a great giveaway!
I don’t use coupons a lot, mostly because I shop at Aldi’s and they don’t take coupons, but when I shop at other places, I use coupons.
Thanks for hosting!

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!
Kristina´s most recent brilliance ..Keeping cool with Watermelon Margaritas
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.
Kristia@FamilyBalanceSheet´s most recent brilliance ..Grilled Garlic Rosemary Red Potatoes
I’m a mustard girl myself ; ) Yes, I do use coupons but only for products that I would buy regularly.
I use in store coupons especially in HEB I buy the brands that have a coupon. Great giveaway Chicken looks delicious.

The only time coupons sway me is when I see one for a product that would like to try but that I don’t normally purchase.
This recipe looks amazing, Rachel! I’m looking forward to trying it sometime soon!
Malia´s most recent brilliance ..Lovely- mutual weirdness
That chicken looks heavenly! I can just image the amazing broth that carcass will make!
Melinda´s most recent brilliance ..Frozen Kool-Aid Dessert
When I can keep track of coupons I use them… but… Usually, I forget about them.
BUT I LOVE Spicy mustard. I actually make something similar to this, but mine is not nearly as photogenic.

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.

I am not very good at organizing and using coupons, and that’s why I love HEB’s Combo Loco…they have the coupons in the store and I don’t have to remember them!!:)
I “like” HEB on facebook!
