Keto Orange-Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Keto Orange-Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 3 1/2 to 4-pound (1.6 to 1.8 kg) whole roasting chicken
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon Splenda
• 1 drop blackstrap molasses (It helps to keep your molasses in a squeeze bottle.)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 3 tablespoons (60 g) low-sugar orange marmalade
• 1 12-ounce (360-ml) can tangerine Diet-Rite soda, divided (Make sure the can is clean!)
• 2 to 3 teaspoons oil
• 1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard

Method

1. Prepare your grill for indirect cooking- if you have a gas grill, light only one side; if you’re using charcoal, pile the briquettes on one side of the grill and light
2. Remove the neck and giblets from the chicken
3. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels
4. In a small bowl combine the salt, Splenda, molasses, and chili powder
5. Spoon out half the mixture (1 1/2 teaspoons) into a bowl and reserve; rub the rest inside the cavity of your chicken
6. Stir the low-sugar orange marmalade into the reserved seasoning mixture
7. Open the can of tangerine soda and pour out 2/3 cup (160 ml)
8. Put 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the soda you poured off into the marmalade/seasoning mixture and stir it in-you can drink the remainder of the soda you poured off or throw it away
9. Now, using a church-key-type can opener, punch several more holes around the top of the can
10. Spray the can with nonstick cooking spray and set it in a shallow baking pan
11. Carefully place the chicken down over the can, fitting the can up into the cavity of the chicken
12. Rub the chicken with the oil
13. Make sure you have a drip pan in place
14. Set the chicken, standing upright on its soda can on the side of the grill not over the fire and spread the drumsticks out a bit, making a tripod effect
15. Close the grill and cook the chicken at 250°F (130°C) or so for 75 to 90 minutes or until the juices run clear when its pricked to the bone
16. You can also use a meat thermometer-it should register 180°F (85°C) while the chicken is roasting, add the mustard to the marmalade/soda/seasoning mixture and stir the whole thing up
17. Use this mixture to baste the chicken during the last 20 minutes or so of roasting
18. When the chicken is done, carefully remove it from the grill-barbecue gloves come in handy here or use heavy hot pads and tongs
19. Twist the can to remove it from the chicken and discard
20. Let the chicken stand for 5 minutes before carving
21. In the meantime, heat any leftover basting sauce to boiling-and serve as a sauce with the chicken
