Glazed Maple Chipotle Roast Chicken. A perfectly roasted succulent chicken with a sweet and spicy glaze. A little something different for Sunday dinner.
Glazed Maple Chipotle Roast Chicken
A roast chicken dinner is about as homey as good cooking gets. At our house roasted potatoes are a must with a good roast chicken; not making roast potatoes would be a cardinal sin in my son’s eyes especially. You can find our very popular version of English style roast potatoes here.
We often roast off other root vegetables like carrots and Spouse’s favourite parsnip to serve as well but the star of the show is always a perfectly roasted chicken.
I like to brine my poultry before roasting but it’s not essential if you are pressed for time. You can read more about my brining technique here.
This one was particularly good with a sweet and smoky glaze to make for a perfect Sunday roast dinner.

I will try it! Can this also be done with bone in chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken? If so are there any major changes that I need to make to your wonderful recipe?
Chicken pieces would be fine just adjust the cooking time.
Thanks! One more question, aside from the glaze, should the chicken breasts be seasoned with anything else before they go in the oven?
If not brining your chicken you should season it with salt and pepper first.
Is chipotle powder the same thing as chipotle chilli powder?
Hi! I am going to try your lovely recipe with bone in chicken breasts. Should I leave the skin on. Also about how long should the chicken be in the oven for? Thank you!
I leave the skin on. Full side breasts should take about an hour or a bit longer depending on their size. 185 degrees internal temperature on a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure any poultry is fully cooked.
