How to Make Apricot Roasted Chicken

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a roasting pan.
3. In a small bowl, combine the apricot jam, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. Mix well.
4. Using a spoon or basting brush, generously coat the chicken with the apricot mixture, ensuring all sides are well-covered.
5. Place the halved onion and garlic cloves around the chicken in the roasting pan.
6. Roast the chicken for 60-65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste the chicken with pan juices every 20 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.
7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.
