How to Make Another Amaretto Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Amaretto, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder.
  3. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
  4. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  5. Rinse the 3-4 pound whole chicken inside and out. Pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  6. Place the chicken in the prepared roasting pan and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  7. Brush the chicken generously with the Amaretto mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 180°F (82°C). Baste with pan juices every 20 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
  10. Serve and enjoy! Serves 4-6.
