Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

Whole chicken (1.5-2 kg)	1
Olive oil	2 tbsp
Salt and pepper	To taste
Garlic cloves, smashed	4
Dried thyme or fresh thyme sprigs	1 tsp
Orange, sliced	1

For the Orange Glaze:

Fresh orange juice	1/2 cup
Honey	1/4 cup
Soy sauce	2 tbsp
Butter	2 tbsp
Grated orange zest	1 tsp
Ground ginger (optional)	1/4 tsp

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Rub with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place garlic and orange slices inside the cavity.
2. Make the Orange Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, butter, orange zest, and ginger (if using). Heat until the butter melts and the ingredients are combined. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
3. Apply the Glaze: Place the chicken in a roasting pan and pour half of the glaze over it.
4. Roast the Chicken: Roast in the preheated oven for 60-90 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze halfway through.
5. Let the Chicken Rest: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
6. Serve: Carve and serve with roasted orange slices.
