INGREDIENTS
- 1915 Farm Pasture Raised Whole Chicken
- 2 Lemons
- 2 Onions
- 1 Stick of Butter
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
FOR THE RUB –
- 1 Tbsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Parsley
- 2 tsp Thyme
- 2 tsp Coarse Kosher Salt
- 2 tsp Coarse Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Mustard Powder
- 1 tsp Brown Sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
The day before making this recipe, take the chicken out of its packaging, and leave uncovered in the fridge overnight, drying out the skin which results in a crispy bird when cooking.
On the day of, fill the chicken cavity with the two lemons and onions (sliced in half). Spread the olive oil all over the outside of the bird, and sprinkle half the rub seasoning over it.
Mix the other half of the rub with the melted stick of butter.
Get a hot burning fire built on both sides of the spit, but not directly under it (the key to this recipe is using a rotisserie / spit to roast your chicken, but an indirect grilling setup or oven works at well)
Let the chicken roast, basting it with the butter mixture every 20 minutes or so. When the chicken reads 165F internal temperature on the breast, take it off the spit and let rest
After resting the chicken for 10 minutes, carve it up serve.
Pro Tip: To take the recipe over the top, place a roasting pan below the chicken with yellow potatoes seasoned with rosemary and whole cloves of garlic. This will baste the potatoes in chicken juices and the herb butter.
