LAVENDER AND HONEY ROASTED CHICKEN
I found this burried recipe and thought instantly of our lovely French Tart and simply had to post this to get her opinion on the recipe. The intro on it reads: This marinade is great for roasted chicken, duck, hens, or any poultry. The sweetness of the honey and balsamic vinegar bring out the aroma of the lavender, and create a lovely brown glaze on the bird. You may also use this as a glaze for grilling chicken pieces, but be sure to baste it near the end of the cooking time to ensure that the glaze doesn't burn.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and stir thoroughly.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Season a whole chicken or chicken pieces (leave the skin on) with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes (reduce time for a smaller bird such as a poussin or cornish hen).
- Baste with the lavender honey marinade every 5 minutes or so for an additional 30 minutes or until completely cooked. The bird is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F Do not overcook.
- [Chef's Note: Once the bird has browned nicely, you can cover it with foil until it is finished cooking to prevent the skin and marinade from burning. Once finished, you can brush additional marinade between the flesh and the skin.].
LAVENDER CHICKEN (POULET A LA LAVENDE) RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- 1. Crush lavender with a mortar and pestle. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Mix well! Add and coat chicken drumsticks with marinade. 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. When the chicken is ready for baking, preheat oven to 180C. Bake the chicken together with the marinade for 45 minutes. Flip the drumsticks halfway through cooking time. Baste the marinade on the new side. 3. You may skip this step but I prefer the drumsticks to be coated with a thicker sauce. Therefore, I reduced the juices for a few minutes in a saucepan to achieve a thicker consistency. You can chose to either coat the drumsticks with sauce or use it as a dipping sauce. Serve immediately!
AUBERGE FRENCH LAVENDER MARINADE FOR BEEF, LAMB OR CHICKEN
A wonderful marinade for beef, lamb or chicken; this marinade is suffused with the flavours and smells of summer, minus the sound of the bees buzzing! Allow the meats to marinate all day or overnight for a more pronounced flavour as well as being extra moist and juicy. Culinary lavender essence can be bought at specialist cook's shops online or at your local lavender farms. If you cannot get hold of culinary lavender essence, use a handful of lavender flowers, lightly crushed.
