1 whole chicken (4 to 5 pounds) 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon black pepper Dash saltPREPARATION:

- Remove giblets from chicken cavity; reserve for another use or discard. Pull chicken skin over neck; secure with metal skewer. Tuck wings under back; tie legs together with wet string. Lightly brush chicken with oil.
- Combine honey, mustard, soy sauce, ginger, pepper and salt in small bowl; set aside.
- Place chicken, breast side up, on grid directly over drip pan. Grill, covered, over medium-high heat 1 hour 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180°F when tested with meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh, not touching bone. Brush with honey mixture every 10 minutes during last 30 minutes of cooking time.*
*If using grill with heat on one side (rather than around drip pan), rotate chicken 180° after 45 minutes of cooking time.
