    ⏲️ Time needed

    It'll take about 15 minutes to prepare your sauce and coat the chicken. Cooking time is about 90 minutes, so you'll need about an hour and 45 minutes.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Barbecue Roasted Chicken is a simple recipe with just 4 ingredients!

    • 5 lb. whole chicken
    • barbecue sauce
    • 4 cloves of garlic
    • oil for drizzling

    📋 Instructions

    Loosen the skin from the chicken on all sides. Coat chicken between the skin and meat with half of the barbecue sauce and all the garlic, distributing as evenly as possible.

    Tie the legs together and place chicken breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Drizzle a small amount of oil over the top. Bake at 375°F for about 1 hour to 1 ½ hours or until chicken is cooked through. During the last 15 minutes brush the remaining barbecue sauce over the chicken.

    💭 Tips

    Shredded or chopped cooked chicken makes a great shortcut for future meals, so whenever I roast a chicken I freeze the leftover chicken for use in things like pizza topping, barbecue sandwiches, or to use in soups and casseroles.
