Max's Roasted Chicken

Submitted by foodtvfan

"My neighbor gave me this recipe around 1962. It originated from Max, the owner of the former Chicken Roost Restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Double the sauce recipe for large quantities of chicken. It has a wonderful aroma while baking. If you don't have homemade or canned chicken stock, use a tablespoon of chicken soup base mix dissolved in 1 cup hot water."

This chicken is extremely mild in flavor which is not a bad thing if you don't like a lot of spices. I didn't do the celery/onion bottom and used b/s chicken breast. Definitely not BBQ chicken, but tasted good none-the-less. Made for PRMR.

This is what I call "chicken tasting chicken." It doesn't have that strong of a flavor, although the flavors that are there are nice enough. It definitely isn't "barbecue" chicken, IMO. However, it was enjoyable. Made for "Please Review my Recipe".

This makes a flavorful moist chicken, but not quite what I consider "barbecue" chicken. I used a whole chicken that I spatchcocked (Recipe #187484) and laid flat in the roasting pan over chopped celery and onion. Then I poured the sauce over and basted frequently.

I enjoyed this recipe. I did make alittle different from what the recipe calls for. I used a whole chicken without cutting into pieces,added minced garlic instead of powder and used chicken bouillon cube for broth. My chicken turned out so moist inside from the basting mixture and had a great flavor. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Made this with 4 large chicken breasts & then followed the recipe right on down, to & including the onion & celery! Very much enjoyed the flavor combo of Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder & paprika! Served it over brown rice for a very nice main course! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
