Steps:
- Mix 10 cups water, sugar and salt in a large roasting pan or stock pot.
- Place chicken skin side down in the water mixture (add more water if necessary to cover chicken.).
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Drain chicken and pat dry.
- Place chicken halves skin side down in a single layer on heavy large baking sheet with rim, that has been lined with aluminum foil, preferably Release foil.
- Brush each half with 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce.
- Sprinkle with 1-1/4 teaspoon of Rub.
- Turn halves over and repeat.
- Bake chicken skin sides up, basting every 20 minutes (VERY IMPORTANT) with pan juices, for about 2 hours.

- If you use chicken parts, like breast, thigh or drumsticks, reduce the cooking time to 1 hour, 30 minutes-ish. And reduce cooking time even more if using a convection oven.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade: Heather's recipe uses a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. You can use this as a base and add your own favorite spices and seasonings. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the chicken, be sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam rather than roast and will not be as crispy.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Heather recommends roasting the chicken at 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken, being careful to avoid touching the bone.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Heather's Best Ever Baked Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. With a flavorful marinade, crispy skin, and juicy meat, this chicken is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying chicken recipe, give Heather's recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
