How to Make Apricot Roasted Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the apricot jam, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. Mix well.
- Using a spoon or basting brush, generously coat the chicken with the apricot mixture, ensuring all sides are well-covered.
- Place the halved onion and garlic cloves around the chicken in the roasting pan.
- 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.
- 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.
