The Mustard, Honey & Herb Roast Chicken is a cookbook exclusive recipe…
This Mustard, Honey and Herb Roast Chicken is the kind of dinner that makes the whole house smell incredible — and makes everyone think you’ve spent hours in the kitchen. You haven’t.
Inspired by a supermarket marinade, this homemade version is sticky, savoury, a little sweet, and packed with flavour from simple pantry ingredients. No complicated techniques, no fancy equipment — just marinate the chicken, pop it in the oven, and let it do its thing.
It’s one of the Budget recipes from Dinners 4, which means maximum flavour without blowing the weekly shop.

Tips & Dietary Needs
- Protein swap – I haven’t tried it yet but I’m sure it would be amazing on a roast beef!
- No Chicken Stock Concentrate? We highly recommend making Niks Chicken Stock Concentrate for best results! Vegetable stock concentrate will work. You can also replace the water with liquid stock.
- Go veggie – Use the marinade on tempeh or firm tofu.
- Low Fodmap – Replace honey with maple syrup, use garlic infused olive oil and use spring onion (green part only).
How to Cook
- This is one of those super easy recipes where you mix the marinade and coat the chicken well.
- Allow to marinate for no longer than 8 hr.
- Preheat oven and roast chicken until cooked through and skin is crispy.
How to apply the Marinade to the Roast Chicken
- Use your fingers or a teaspoon to gently separate the skin away from the breast of the roast chicken. You don’t want to break the skin.
- Using your fingers gently push some of the marinade in between the skin and the breast meat. This will give you maximum flavour and the meat will stay juicy.
- Coat the chicken inside and out.
- Set aside covered in the fridge.

From the Testing Team
- Julie H – Now this was absolutely perfect i used the bone in thigh pieces
Did only marinate for 2.5 hrs will do longer next time. Served with veges - Tanya H – Wow wow!! I know this recipe is completed but I had to try it out. I bought thigh cutlets. This was just amazing! The flavour and the way it’s cooked was so delish.
- Jodi H – This is so good!! I chucked some spuds and pumpkin in too (partially cooked spuds) they tasted amazing!
- Shauna D – My chook was 2.3kg which was the smallest I could find. Cooked wrapped with foil at 180 for 70 minutes, then unwrapped at 190 for 25 minutes to get the internal temp right.
I don’t usually cook roast chicken but if I do, I will be using this recipe as it’s super delicious and moist.

FAQs
Can I marinate the chicken longer?
The lemon in the marinade starts to breakdown the chicken and changes its texture. We don’t recommend marinating it too long.
Can I use different cuts of chicken?
Absolutely! Just adjust the cooking time to suit.
