a simple real food recipe :: slow baked barbeque chicken
Author: Renee - www.theSIMPLEmoms.com
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
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.
Put the lid on the roaster and bake at 275 degrees for 3 hours.
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.
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.
Let the chicken rest a good 5-10 minutes before cutting.
