    Ingredients

    • One roasting chicken (5 1/2 lbs.)
    • 1/4 c. margarine
    • 3 x cloves garlic
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp pepper
    • 1/4 tsp honey
    • 1/4 tsp yellow or possibly brown mustard
    • 1/2 tsp basil
    • 1/4 c. lemon juice

    Directions

    1. Combine all ingredients, except chicken and smooth to a soft mix.
    2. Take the breast skin of the chicken and move your hand under the skin to tear all tissue. Use paper towel to dry. With your hand, take the mix and rub under the skin onto the meat of the chicken and as far as you can go without ripping the skin. Bring the skin back and if needed use toothpicks to hold in place.
    3. Rub the skin on all sides with margarine and lemon.
    4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 min at 450 degrees, take off aluminum foil and bake for an additional 45 min at 350 degrees.
    5. Serve with lemon, or possibly a sauce of mustard, mayo and lemon.
