easy weekend roast chicken... try this simple recipe for delicious, fall-off-the-bone roast chicken. The chicken does take 4-5 hours to cook, but it is as easy as placing it in the oven and checking on it hours later. The night before, coat the chicken with your favorite spices. I've done a dry barbecue rub and an Italian rub, both turned out great. The barbecue version is listed below.
Dry Rub:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 T garlic powder
1/2 t onion powder
1 1/2 T of sweet paprika
1 T of cracked black pepper
cayenne pepper to taste (optional, but it gives a nice kick)
One 3-4lb roaster chicken
1 onion
3-4 garlic cloves
The night before, mix the dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Wash and dry chicken. Sprinkle some of the dry rub into the chicken's cavity. Stuff with onion and garlic cloves. Take the remaining dry rub and coat the entire outside of the chicken with it. Place in a sealed plastic bag and put in the refrigerator.
The following day, preheat the oven to 250ยบ. Place chicken onto a roasting pan. Roast on low heat for 4-5 hours, basting occasionally. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce. I recommend Williams-Sonoma's Kansas City barbecue sauce.
