Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC).

2. Prepare Chicken: Rinse the chicken under cold water and let it drain in a colander until it stops dripping. Pat dry with paper towels.

3. Season Chicken: Sprinkle salt inside and outside the chicken.

4. Prepare Butter: Gently loosen the skin of the chicken breast and place 1/2 stick of butter under the skin on each side.

5. Roasting: Place the chicken in a roasting pan, optionally on a roasting rack.

6. Initial Roasting: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

7. Prepare Sauce: While the chicken is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine Heinz ketchup, water, minced garlic, chili powder, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, Tabasco sauce, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and vinegar. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally.

8. Sauce Application: After 1 hour of roasting, remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon the prepared sauce generously over the entire surface of the roasted chicken.

9. Adjust Oven Temperature: Reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF (175ºC).

10. Finish Roasting: Return the sauced chicken to the oven and continue roasting until it’s fully cooked, usually for an additional 15 to 30 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken.

11. Resting: Once done, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.

12. Serving: Serve the BBQ Roasted Chicken as desired, accompanied by your favorite sides.
