Honey BBQ Glazed Grill Roasted Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (about 3½ to 4 pounds)
- Lemon seasoning
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill for indirect heat cooking. For a gas grill, heat both burners initially, then turn one burner off and reduce the other to low heat.
2. Rinse the chicken thoroughly with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, mix vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar. Transfer the mixture to a squirt bottle for easy application.
4. Generously sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning all over the chicken, including inside the cavity.
5. Place the chicken breast side up on the grill, away from the direct heat source. Squirt the oil and vinegar mixture generously into the cavity until it overflows.
6. Close the grill lid and cook the chicken over low to medium-low heat for 2 to 2½ hours, maintaining a slow cooking pace.
7. After about an hour, open the lid and squirt more of the oil and vinegar mixture over the chicken.
8. Close the lid and continue cooking until the chicken is golden brown, moist, and tender. Check for doneness by gently twisting the leg bone; if it breaks free easily at the joint, the chicken is ready.
9. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, brush honey BBQ sauce over the chicken, allowing it to caramelize.
10. Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.
11. Serve your Honey BBQ Glazed Grill Roasted Chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy a delicious meal!
