Time 3h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Allow to rest at room temperature for up to 90 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Pour butter over the chicken. Cover.
  • 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.
  • Carve chicken and spoon over pan drippings before serving.
