Jon Snow's Honeyed Chicken | Game of Thrones Inspired Recipes
After the battle for Winterfell, I like to think that Jon and his men supped on honeyed chicken - a sweet and slow roasted chicken with crisp and sticky skin.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 whole fresh chicken or small fresh fryer chicken
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- ½ cup buter melted
- ½ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1 tablespoon tamari can sub soy sauce
Instructions
- Use a paper towel to pat the chicken dry. Use the paper towels on the inside cavity to dry it out. Let chicken rest at room temp to dry further about 30-45 minutes (optional but optimal).
- Rub the chicken all over with the room temperature butter, be sure to get it under the skin and onto the meat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, cumin, coriander, curry powder, onion powder, mustard, ginger and tamari. Pour about half into a separate bowl.
- Use a brush to cover the chicken in the honey sauce. Brush inside and out. Coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
- Place the chicken into the bottom of the air fryer (OR use a convection oven; OR conventional oven). Heat the air fryer to 400 F. Bake the chicken for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with the remaining sauce, until the internal temperature of the chicken breast reads 155 F.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and baste with any remaining honey sauce. Let rest for 15 minutes to finish cooking. The juices should run clear. Use Valyrian steel to cut breat from bone. Enjoy with a ration of blackened bread.
