Enjoy Labor Day Weekend with Honey Barbecue Roast Chicken

Theres just something about roast chicken, isnt there? I mean, the scent alone of a chicken roasting in your oven is enough to bring neighbors over and evoke a sense of comfort and joy in the house.  Every time I roast a chicken, it makes me think of Sundays at my parents house growing up. Maybe Im just from the South, but in my mind church and chicken go hand in hand. Nowadays, despite the fact that I have my own little house and no family near to share chicken dinners with, I still love to roast them once in awhile for the sole reason of leftovers! Leftover roast chicken is one of lifes greatest pleasures. And this is my secret ingredient: This barbecue seasoning turns regular roast chicken into something extraordinary. And a gentle brushing of honey after roasting? Well, that just takes everything to the next level.
