  • For the BBQ sauce:
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar

Instruction

  • In a medium bowl mix together orange juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a large, ziploc bag and pour marinade over chicken. Allow to marinate for at least one hour in the fridge or up to 3 hours.
  • In a medium saucepan, saute onions until soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in ketchup, vinegar, honey, soy sauce and coffee. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low-medium. Simmer for 35-45 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roast chicken upright using an upright roaster for 50-60 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees when inserted. About halfway through roasting, brush some of the BBQ sauce all over the chicken and place back into the oven until cooking time is complete.
  • Allow the chicken to rest long enough to cut into quarters. Drizzle additional BBQ sauce on top and serve.
