Preparing honey miso chicken

In a bowl, mix 50 g miso with the honey, ginger, cumin, soy sauce, and olive oil.

Place inside the chicken: 20 g miso, a few onion wedges, and half of the garlic head.
Generously brush the entire outside of the chicken with the marinade.
Toss the vegetables in the remaining marinade until well coated.

Place the chicken in a large roasting dish, cover with aluminum foil, and roast for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, arrange the vegetables, lemons, and remaining garlic around the chicken, and continue cooking for 1 hour.
Turn the vegetables from time to time for even cooking and a beautiful golden color.
