Chicken with Ketchup Glaze

This reddish, brown chicken is very appealing to look at. And we do tend to "eat" with our eyes. The aroma is mainly from little seasonings and the ketchup. In this case less is best.

  • 1 4 lb. Whole Kosher chicken

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Line the pan with aluminum foil. Place chicken in the roasting pan. Put salt, pepper and garlic powder inside the cavity. Rub some oil under the breast. Mix the ketchup and oil, and brush onto the chicken, On the bottom of the pan add some water, about 1/4 cup, depending on the size of the pan and the chicken you might need less.
  2. Place in the oven. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Baste often and add liquid if needed. Chicken is done when juices from the chicken run clear. Remove from oven and let rest before serving. Serve with baked potatoes, or roasted veggies. These can be baked or roasted at the same time with the chicken.
