Spicy Honey Whole Roasted Chicken

This was AMAZING!!!!  This tasted so great and was so easy to make!!!  This is a favorite for us!!!


Ingredients

4lb box Ice Cream/Rock Salt
3-5lb whole chicken, insides removed and cavity rinsed
1 whole lemon
big handful fresh parsley
3-4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 tablespoon Bacon Extra Virgin, or oil of your choice
2 t granulated garlic
2 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt
1 t cumin
1/2 t chipotle chili powder
1/2 C Honey
1T Cider Vinegar


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a 9×13 baking dish with foil and empty entire box of salt into it, spreading out in an even layer.  Cut lemon in half and stuff inside cavity, along with garlic and parsley.  Rub chicken with olive oil.  Combine all spices in a bowl and then sprinkle over chicken, rubbing in on all sides.  

Place chicken on top of salt, breast-side down and bake for 40 minutes.  Flip chicken over and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 in the thickest part of the breast.  Remove from oven and tent with foil for 5 minutes.  Combine honey and vinegar.  Use a silicone brush to brush glaze over chicken and then slice.  Use any extra glaze, and that accumulated on your cutting board, to drizzle back over the cut chicken.
