Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Mix five-spice powder and salt together in a small bowl.

Sprinkle over the chicken and rub all over, including inside the cavity.

Place chicken on a rack, breast side up, in a roasting pan.

Pour 1 cup water in bottom of pan. Roast for 1 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, stir butter and honey together in a small bowl to make a glaze and set aside.

Remove chicken from the oven and increase oven temperature to 450°F.

Brush half of the honey-butter glaze all over the chicken, then return it to the oven and roast for 5 minutes more.

Remove chicken, brush the remaining glaze over it, then return to the oven for about 5 minutes more, until chicken is crispy, well browned and an instant read thermometer registers 170° in the breast meat and 180° in the thigh meat.

Remove chicken from the oven and set aside to let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
