Ingredients

  • ¼ cup kosher salt
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1
Combine salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and chipotle pepper in a bowl. Rinse and pat chicken dry. Rub with seasoning blend, placing any excess in the cavity.

Step 2
Allow to rest at room temperature for up to 90 minutes.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4
Place chicken in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Pour butter over the chicken. Cover.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Step 6
Carve chicken and spoon over pan drippings before serving.

Cook’s Notes:

The seasoning blend can be substituted or altered to taste.
