Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds in size. A larger chicken will take longer to cook, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Pat the chicken dry: This will help the spices and rub adhere to the skin and give you a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives the chicken its flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of spices and herbs. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Whole oven-barbecued chicken is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a backyard barbecue feast that will wow your friends and family. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing chicken!
