Sweet Baked Chicken

Most of my friends can't cook to save there lives.  In fairness they have their reasons: for the most part they're extremely busy with work or kids.  So, I understand. They asked me to stop telling them about this wonderful chicken that I make and just give the recipe on how to make it.  So,  here I go...

Step 1: Cut the whole chicken in half


Step 1: Get a whole chicken, cut it in half or leave it whole.  Clean and wash the chicken with lemon or vinegar before you start to season the chicken.  Put the clean chicken in a roasting pan.



Step 2:  Season the chicken on both sides




Step 2: I first face the chicken inside up if cut into two or bottom up if whole.  I rub the chicken with olive oil and then rub  1 tablespoon of each of these spices:
-Sea Salt
-Black pepper
-Parsely
-Brown sugar
-Rosemary
-Thyme
-Roasted red pepper and garlic mix

                                                                          
Step 3: Cover with onion
Step 3:  Flip the chicken and repeat the same seasoning process.  Then take one whole onion and dice it up and spread it over the whole chicken. 









Step 4: Make the awesome sauce


Step 4:  I make the this awesome sauce that I pour over the chicken before putting it in the oven.  Mix these together in a bowl:
-1 cup of bbq sauce
-1 tablespoon of honey
-1 tablespoon of jerk sauce
-1 tablespoon of thyme
-1 tablespoon of salt and pepper.


Step 5: Moist baked chicken



Step 5: Pour the sauce over the chicken in the roaster.  Cover the pan and place in the oven and bake at 350 F for 1 hour and 20 minutes.   Uncover the pan and bake for 10 more minutes.

You can thank me when it's done.
