• Rinse and clean chicken well and pat dry with paper towels.
• Rub the whole chicken with the brandy, reserve leftover brandy.
• Rub the whole chicken well with the light brown sugar, reserve the leftover brown sugar.

• Bake at 375 degrees (200 C.) for 1 hour, or until the juices of the chicken run clear.

Comments

1. Often times, I place a whole cored apple in the cavity with the brandy, sugar, butter mixture.

2. For a NON-alcoholic version, substitute garlic salt for the brandy. It gives a great alternative that by itself is just as good if not better!

3. Substitute chicken breast halves in a roasting dish is a great way to have individual servings without having to carve a bird.
