Ingredients
  

  • 1 (5-6 lb) fully cooked spiral chicken ham
  • 1/4 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth for the bottom of the pan
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs optional
For the Mustard Glaze
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the spiral chicken ham cut-side down in a large roasting pan or 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour ¼ cup of water or low-sodium chicken broth into the bottom of the pan. Tuck fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs around the ham if using.
  2. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for approximately 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F on a meat thermometer.
  3. While the ham bakes, make the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated.
  4. About 25 minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil. Brush a generous layer of the mustard glaze all over the ham, working it down into the spiral cuts.
  5. Return to the oven uncovered. After 10 minutes, brush on a second layer of glaze. Bake for the remaining 15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized, thick, and deeply golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Brush any remaining glaze from the pan over the top just before serving.

Notes

For extra caramelization on the glaze, turn the broiler to high in the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
Leftovers are fantastic in sandwiches, wraps, omelets, or chopped into soups and pasta dishes – making this a super budget-friendly meal that keeps on giving throughout the week!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or wrap individual portions tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
