Roasted Chicken with Cider Vinegar Barbecue Sauce

Serves 4-6

Recipe by Le Creuset; Shown in a Le Creuset White Oval Dutch Oven

Ingredients

For the Roasted Chicken:

 

• 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs), rinsed, cleaned, patted dry, and trussed
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper

 For the Cider Vinegar Barbecue Sauce:

• 1½ cups apple cider vinegar
• ¾ cup ketchup
• ½ cup Dijon or spicy mustard
• ¹/₃ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Bring the chicken to room temperature before roasting. Coat the chicken with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the Dutch oven and set chicken on top, breast side up.

Place the chicken in the oven and roast uncovered for 1 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer registers 155 F in thickest thigh and chicken is golden brown. Allow chicken to rest 15 minutes before carving into quarters.

While the chicken is resting, in a stainless-steel saucepan over medium heat, simmer all barbecue sauce ingredients until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Pour over hot chicken quarters or serve as an accompaniment for dunking.
