Pre-heat oven to 190oC, 375oF, Gas Mark 5. Place the onion and lemon inside the body cavity of the chicken then transfer to a baking tin. Mix together honey, garlic and mustard with plenty of seasoning. Spread the mixture over chicken and place the bay leaves on top of the bird. Place in the oven and cook for 40 minutes. Warm the cider, then carefully pour it over chicken and continue to cook uncovered for a further 50-60 minutes. Baste the chicken frequently during cooking and cover it loosely with foil if it becomes too dark. At the end of the cooking time, drain the liquid from the chicken and transfer it to a saucepan. Return the bird to the oven to keep hot. In a small pan bring the liquid to the boil, then cook uncovered until it is reduced by about three-quarters of its original quantity (approximately 10-15 minutes). Place the chicken on a serving dish and pour over the glaze. |

Honey is both a classic and a fashionable ingredient. It can be used as a natural substitute for sugar in most recipes but as it is sweeter than sugar, less is needed. Similarly, as almost one fifth of honey is water, the liquid content of a recipe should be reduced by the same amount.
Honey also enriches and adds a subtle flavour to many savoury dishes such as meat casseroles, sauces and dressings. When used in a marinade, honey will help tenderise meat and while it is cooking, the honey gives a distinctive barbecue flavour to food as it caramelises.
Contemporary chefs use honey in many of their dishes - from salad dressings to barbecues, stir fry's, fusion food and delicious desserts. Just a few of our favourites are outlined here.
Honey is nature's natural sweetener, and so easy to use - giving an instant boost to your energy levels. We've come up with quick and simple ways to incorporate honey into all your meals:
