Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chickens in two low-sided roasting pans. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together maple syrup, orange juice, mustard, oil, and thyme or rosemary. Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour evenly over chicken.
- Roast chicken, basting occasionally, for about 50 minutes or until juices run clear, or an internal thermometer registers 170 degrees.
- Serve with pan juices and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
For the Roasted Maple Dijon chicken recipe, should the chicken in the oven be covered or uncovered?
