A different take on the typical beer can chicken. I inject the butter-based rub under the skin for better flavor. The steam from the liquid makes this moist and tender.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (4 pound) whole chicken
¼ cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
juice of 1 fresh lemon, divided
1 (12 ounce) can lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite®)
1 small whole onion, peeled
1 squeezed lemon half

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the giblets and rinse chicken inside and out with water. Pat dry with paper towels.
Stir together butter, brown sugar, garlic, salt and pepper, and half the lemon juice in a bowl. Rub the mixture over the entire chicken, including the cavity and beneath the skin.
Discard 1/2 of soda, leaving the rest in the can, and pour the remaining lemon juice into the can. Place the can on a baking sheet, and set the chicken upright on the can, inserting it into the cavity of the chicken. Plug the neck opening of the chicken with the onion and a squeezed lemon half to retain steam.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, discard the soda can, and cover chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

Choose the right soda: Not all sodas are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a clear, caffeine-free soda like Sprite or 7UP. Avoid using dark sodas like cola or root beer, as they can make the chicken taste bitter.
Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're cooking a lot of chicken, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Season the chicken well: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.

Conclusion:

Diet Soda Chicken is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve Diet Soda Chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
