This is my first recipe and it's not really mine. Was looking for something with honey and brown sugar for a roasting chicken. Found one and added a few ingredients and thought it turned out good. Could probably use a few more spices but my family doesn't like too many, so my hands are tied a bit. Some thyme or rosemary might work nicely. Everyone loved it this way though.
