INGREDIENTS:

For The Chicken Brine:

• 1 Whole chicken, spatchcocked, and cut in half

• 3 Cups buttermilk

• 6 Sprigs fresh rosemary

• 2 tbsp kosher salt

• 1 tbsp black pepper

For The Rosemary Infused Honey & Maple Syrup:

• 1/2 cup real maple syrup

• 1/4 cup honey

• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary

• 1 tsp Rosemary Sea Salt by Nativo Spices

INSTRUCTIONS:

Brining The Chicken:

1. Place all ingredients into a large Zip Loc storage bag and mix well.

2. Add chicken, remove all air from the bag and seal the bag.

3. Refrigerate for 12-24 hours

4. Remove chicken from brining bag and rinse completely.

5. Place the chicken on a baking rack and baking pan and let air dry for 12-24 hours (this helps the skin get crispy later on).

 Making the Rosemary Infused Honey & Maple Syrup:

1. Place all ingredients into a medium saucepot and let it come to a low simmer for 10 minutes.

2. Remove rosemary sprigs.

 Roasting the Brined Chicken:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

• Place the two halves of the chicken onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. 

• Coat the chicken skin with duck fat spray (or olive oil).

• Grind roughly 1 TBS of the Nativo Rosemary Sea Salt over the chicken so you have a light coating (the duck fat/olive oil will make it stick nicely).

• Place the chicken into your pre-heated oven.

• During the last 10-15 minutes of roasting, remove the chicken from the oven and baste it with the Rosemary infused honey & maple syrup, then quickly return to the oven. Repeat this process 3-4 times as the chicken reaches a beautiful golden color.

• Remove chicken from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

• Serve with the Rosemary Biscuits, roasted potatoes, and grilled broccolini (or other favorite vegetables).
