"Mustard Spanked Chicken"

Ashley, 
Mike bought me a cookbook recently called "Fifty Shades of Chicken". Haha! Besides the name and my love for the original book, this has some pretty great stuff. We are hugh chicken eaters so it's really been coming in handy! Here is something I tried the other day: 

What you will need:
1 whole chicken, 4 lbs
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp fresh minced basil
3 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
1. Rub chicken all over with salt and pepper (including cavity)
2. In small bowl, mix together the mustard, basil and garlic and cover chicken with mixture
3. Let sit at least one hour 
4. Preheat oven to 400
5. Place chicken on rack breast side down, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil 
6. Roast for 30 minutes 
7. Take out and flip chicken over so breasts are up and drizzle with remaining olive oil
8. Roast for another 40 minutes 

Enjoy!
