Dijon Mustard Roasted Chicken

On a beautiful day, on a refreshing hike, the conversation of dinner began... we have tofu, sausage, and a whole chicken. Oh it is Sunday night! Lets make a chicken.


Defrosted, Marinated, Roasted!


Shopping List:

• 1 thawed chicken
• 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard (approximately)
• 2 cloves of garlic, pressed
• 1/4 tsp of fresh cracked pepper

Putting it Together:

1. Mix the Dijon mustard, garlic, and pepper in a bowl, mix thoroughly and set a side.

2. Prepare the thawed chicken, clean the inside and out with water and paper towels, cut away extra fat if necessary. Next salt the entire bird.

3. Marinate the chicken with mustard rub, massaging it into the bird on the inside and out.

4. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375.
5. Cover the bird with some aluminum foil and put that sucker in the oven.
6. Cook as per the directions, basting occasionally through out with the remaining mustard sauce.
7. In the last 45 minutes take the foil off the bird so it crisps up.

8. Carve and chow down !
