Method
Preheat the oven to 220C (or 200C fan-forced).Wash the Poussin in cold water inside and out and pat dry.
In a large bowl, combine the honey, vinegar, oil, lemon zest, garlic, thyme and pepper.
Add the Poussin and rub in the sauce. Allow to marinate, breast side down, for at least 30 minutes.
Place in a baking tray (breast up), pour over the marinade, season with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
