Orange-Honey Roasted Chicken

4 pound chicken
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter
>> Marinade:
4 cups orange juice
3 tablespoons honey

Combine marinade ingredients; add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator 4 to 6 hours.

Remove chicken from marinade, reserving 2 cups. Place marinade in a saucepan and reduce by half; set aside.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using your fingers, separate skin from breast of chicken.

Combine the 1/4 cup butter, parsley, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper; place under skin of chicken. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Tie wings and drumsticks to chicken with string. Roast 10 minutes or until golden brown, then lower temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting 40 to 50 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees.

For sauce: Place stock in a saucepan and reduce by half; slowly add reduced marinade. Remove from heat and whisk in the 3 tablespoons butter. Drizzle over chicken. Serves 4 to 6.
