Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F/Gas Mark 6.
Stir together the garlic, mustard, olive oil, honey, soy, herbs and salt.
Put the chicken in a roasting tin and brush over the marinade.
Cook the chicken for 40 mins per kilo, plus an extra 30 mins. If the skin starts to get too dark, cover with foil.
Check that it’s cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. The juices should run clear; if not, cook for longer.
