Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

Take packaged organs out of a fryer chicken, replace with a whole peeled onion.

Sprinkle salt and pepper inside chicken, smother outside with barbecue sauce.

Place in metal oven pan, cover pan bottom with cold water.

Cook in oven, 1-1/2 hrs or until breastbone flesh gives way when prodded with fork.

Pour juices from pan over chicken with a ladle every 15 minutes.

If chicken starts to burn on top, cover with a sheet of tinfoil.

Serve whole, sliced or jointed, hot or cold.

NOTES : This is a quick, delicious roast chicken for when youre tired, yet fancy roast chicken. You can also use it for sandwiches with lettuce, salt, pepper and mayonnaise. If youre really tired, put the chicken in a microwave and cook until the skin begins to turn grey, then proceed as below, shortening cooking time. Considering how unpleasant this sounds, the result is surprisingly tasty.
