Simple preparation in a Dutch oven for a moist and delicious whole chicken.
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.
