BBQ Roasted Chicken
So easy to prepare using just pantry spices making the best smoky BBQ rub ever! And the chicken comes out with perfectly crispy skin!
There’s something about roasting a bird that makes me feel so accomplished.
I always think it’s the hardest thing ever. That I’ve basically saved the entire world and created world peace.
But really, all I’ve done is rub a chicken with a spice rub and throw it in the oven.
I mean, seriously, that is it.
But then again, it is the best BBQ rub you will ever make using only pantry spices, saving you from that emergency grocery run.
So maybe I am saving the world. I’m basically Superwoman with a sidekick corgi named Butters.
