Honey Glazed Marmite Roast Chicken

Marmite is a British favourite and it is traditionally eaten as a savoury spread on bread, crackers and toast. In my home, we never eat it this way. When I was a child, my mom used to add Marmite to porridge to enhance the flavour and make savoury broth by mixing Marmite with water. I don't remember how she use it in cooking but I do remembered I love to eat Marmite chicken at the Chinese eateries when I was a teenager.

Marmite chicken is one of my favourite dish. This dish is normally deep fried and glazed with a thick and sweet Marmite sauce. At home, I hardly deep fried chicken, so I have created these Air Fried Marmite Chicken and Honey Glazed Marmite Roast Chicken recipes. Both recipes requires no oil in cooking which is healthier. <<Click here for Air Fried Marmite Chicken recipe >>

This Honey Glazed Marmite Roast Chicken was created by me, specially for my son who loves roast chicken. He's especially happy and excited when he sees me serving whole roast chicken. It's like a feast to him. And when he knew that it's Marmite flavour, he will show me the WOW face followed by this comment 'I LOVE MARMITE ROAST CHICKEN'. Yes, he is just like the mini me, a Marmite lover!

This beautifully glazed Marmite Roast Chicken is flavourful, with a fusion of savoury and sweet taste. Added Marmite in the marinade gives it an extraordinary flavour that you probably won't be able to replace with other ingredients to yield the same result. Serve this with salad, roasted vegetables, rice or even on its own, you'll never regret making this because this is absolutely tasty! Love it or hate it? ..... I bet you will love it! ;)

If you think roasting whole chicken is too challenging for you,
try baking chicken wings, just halve the time :)

How to butterfly the chicken:

Place the chicken on a board breast-side down. Use a pair of sharp kitchen scissors, cut closely along each side of the backbone. Remove and discard the backbone. Turn the chicken breast-side up, press down firmly on the breastbone to flatten the chicken. Butterflying a chicken allows it to roast more quickly and evenly.

2. Rub 2/3 part the marinade all over the chicken. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Keep the remaining marinade in the refrigerator.
