Author:
Ingredients
  • 1 whole pastured chicken, rinsed
  • Filtered water for the pan
  • FOR THE BARBEQUE SAUCE (mix these together in a small cup – can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge):
  • ¼ cup organic ketchup (watch ingredients!)
  • 2 tsp blackstrap molasses
  • 1 TB organic mustard (watch ingredients!)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • A pinch or two of chipotle powder (to taste)
Instructions
  1. Put the chicken breast side DOWN in a roasting pan that has a lid and fill the pan with filtered water ⅓ of the way up the pan.
  2. Put the lid on the roaster and bake at 275 degrees for 3 hours.
  3. Take the pan out of the oven and turn the chicken around to breast side UP. Carefully pat the skin so it isn’t dripping wet and brush a layer of barbeque sauce over the breasts and the legs.
  4. Put the chicken back in the oven WITHOUT the lid and bake at 350 for another 30-45 minutes. EVERY 10-15 MINUTES take the chicken out and brush another layer of barbeque sauce over the breasts and the legs. No lid.
  5. Let the chicken rest a good 5-10 minutes before cutting.
