Ingredients:

Serving

10 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup coarse kosher salt
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
peel from 1 lemon , cut into long strips with vegetable peeler
1 bay leaf
3 large fresh thyme
1 4 1/2- lb chicken ( giblets reserved for another use)
2 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth, divided
1 tbsp butter, room temperature
1 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tbsp whole grain mustard

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place chicken on rack in roasting pan. Roast chicken 20 minutes; add 1 cup broth to roasting pan. Roast chicken 20 minutes longer; add 1 cup broth to roasting pan. Roast chicken until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 170°F, about 45 minutes. Let chicken rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour juices from roasting pan into 2-cup measuring cup. Add more broth if needed to equal 2 cups. Simmer butter in medium saucepan over medium heat until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add flour; stir 1 minute. Whisk in broth mixture; bring to boil.
