"This maple butter roast chicken recipe is so mouthwateringly delicious that it's likely that it's one you will come back to time and time again, so it's always good to know a few ways to adapt it to keep things fresh and interesting. For a slightly different flavor, why not add a dash of bourbon to the maple butter glaze?

Whole roast chicken coated in herb-infused maple butter produces glossy, juicy, golden-brown meat with balanced sweetness, nuttiness, herbal, umami, and savory flavors. Maple butter adds sweetness and a rich, nutty depth and can be purchased or made at home. The preparation simply requires smothering the bird with the maple butter, roasting it in the oven, and occasionally basting to achieve a tender, flavorful result. The recipe is adaptable: a dash of bourbon in the glaze enhances sweetness and complexity, while cayenne, chili powder, chile flakes, smoked paprika, or garlic add heat and depth.
