Stuff the cavity of the chicken with onion wedges, thyme, and rosemary sprigs. Truss your chicken if desired.
▢
Place the chicken on top of the bed of onions and orange slices.
▢
Add the olive oil, orange juice, honey, salt, pepper, and garlic to a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour over the top of the chicken.
▢
Place more orange slices around the chicken and additional thyme and rosemary. Cover the chicken.
▢
Bake for 2 hours, uncovering the chicken the last 20 minutes so the skin can brown and get crispy. It should be 165F degrees.
