Honey Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

• ½ cup orange juice
• ½ cup Colorado Hemp Honey
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 3-pound chicken, giblets and excess fat removed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Whisk orange juice, honey, cumin, salt and pepper in bowl. 
3. Place chicken in nonstick roasting pan, and spoon liquid over chicken. 
4. Place chicken in oven, legs first, and roast for 10 minutes. 
5. Spoon accumulated juices back over chicken, reverse pan back to front, and return to oven.
