INGREDIENTS

CHICKEN

  • 6-pound whole chicken 
  • 3 teaspoons Celtic or Himalayan salt
  • 2 tsp each of dried rosemary, sage, garlic powder, chipotle, smoked chili pepper, basil and oregano 
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 3 tsps coconut sugar (don’t miss this part!)
  • 2-4 cups filtered water (enough to have the chicken sit in 1 inch of water)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Rinse your chicken with cold water inside and out and dry well with paper towels.
  3. Combine herbs and spices in a small bowl and mix well. With your hands, rub your spice mix on the outside of your chicken. 

  4. Lay your chicken breast side down in an oven-safe roasting pan. Place in your preheated oven cook for approximately 3.5 hrs.
  5. Take the cover off 1 hr before it’s ready (at the 2.5 hr mark), using a ladle, pour the juices over the chicken and place back in the over for the remaining time (approximately 1 hr). Cover stays off.
  6. Cook until it falls apart with a fork or until the temperature of the breast meat registers at 180 degrees.
  7. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow for all the juices to set in and serve with your favorite roasted veggies!
