I was experimenting with beer can chicken without the beer. This turned out great and it's very easy to make!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 pound) whole chicken
½ cup dry ranch dressing mix
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon ground paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
⅔ cup apple cider, divided
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon minced garlic
⅓ cup apple cider
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Rinse chicken and remove insides; dry off with a paper towel.
  • Combine ranch dressing mix, granulated garlic, poultry seasoning, paprika, and cayenne for rub in a bowl.
  • Rub chicken with oil. Put 1/3 cup apple cider, onion wedges, and fresh garlic inside the chicken, using onions to block the opening. Sprinkle rub all over using a teaspoon; be sure to coat legs and under wings.
  • Place chicken on a stand-up roasting rack and set into a deep baking dish. Pour in remaining apple cider and ranch dressing mix.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover tightly with foil, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
