Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2-4-lb.) chicken
Kosher salt
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise, plus 4 cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 lb. carrots, scrubbed, cut in half
8 small shallots, peeled
1 (2") piece ginger, unpeeled, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250°F. Season chicken generously with salt inside and out. Place head of garlic inside cavity; tie legs together if desired. Let sit at least 5 minutes or chill, uncovered, up to 2 days.
Combine carrots, shallots, ginger, butter, and honey in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot; season lightly with salt. Place chicken on top, nestling into vegetables so lid will sit tight. Cover; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, about 2 hours. Uncover and let rest 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook oil and sliced garlic in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and let cool. Stir in lime juice; season dressing with salt.
Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until skin is browned and crisp, 10-14 minutes.
Meanwhile, place pot over medium-high heat; bring juices to a simmer. Cook, reducing heat as needed, until vegetables are glazed, 10-12 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until chicken is done.
Serve chicken on top of vegetables with dressing drizzled over.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and carrots. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
If you want a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of honey.
Be careful not to overcook the carrots. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
These carrots are a great side dish for chicken, pork, or fish.

Conclusion:

Honey ginger glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, savory, and slightly spicy. The glaze is made with honey, ginger, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. The carrots are roasted in the oven until they are tender and caramelized.
