Ingredients

8 servings
- •¼ cup kosher salt
- •¼ cup light brown sugar
- •2 tablespoons garlic powder
- •2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- •1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
- •1 (4 pound) whole chicken
- •2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Combine salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and chipotle pepper in a bowl. Rinse and pat chicken dry. Rub with seasoning blend, placing any excess in the cavity.
- Allow to rest at room temperature for up to 90 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chicken in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Pour butter over the chicken. Cover.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Carve chicken and spoon over pan drippings before serving.
