Make the seasoning
In a medium bowl, combine the onion soup mix, Dijon mustard, water, thyme leaves, pepper and salt. Blend with an immersion blender until emulsified. The mixture will not be smooth, that’s ok. Alternatively, place all ingredients in the base of a blender and blend until emulsified. If the mixture seems too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and continue blending.

Season the chicken
Place the chicken in a large bowl and pat dry with paper towels. Using your hands, rub the seasoning all over the chicken, including under the skin if desired. Set the bowl aside while you prepare the onions.

Arrange the chicken
Set the June Roasting Rack in the June Pan. Remove the chicken from the bowl and place the chicken breast-side up on the roasting rack. Spread any excess seasoning left in the bowl on the chicken.

Tie the legs together
Tie the legs of the chicken together with cooking twine to ensure it cooks evenly.

Insert the June Food Thermometer
Insert the June Food Thermometer into the thickest part of the breast (top right or top left corner of the chicken breast) at a 45° angle, avoiding the bone.

Roast the chicken
Place the June Pan and roasting rack on the bottom shelf of the June Oven. Plug the June Food Thermometer into the jack. June will notify you when the chicken is ready.

Rest the chicken and serve
Remove the chicken from the June Oven. With protected hands, transfer the chicken on the roasting rack to another June Pan or a plate, and allow to rest uncovered for 5 minutes. Stir the onions well, scraping up any brown bits of caramelization from the June Pan. Carve the chicken and serve with the onions.
