Notes

Notes:
  1. Change up your seasonings. If you like it spicy, add some cayenne pepper or adobe seasoning powder.
  2. You can tie the legs (drumsticks) with kitchen twine if you want the bird to be more secure during the cooking process. Just remove the string when you are ready to cut the chicken up after it's done cooking.  
  3. Please refer to this article on Chicken from Farm To Table on all things about preparing and cooking raw chicken.  
  4. Parchment paper is optional. It just makes it easier when it comes time to clean the Dutch oven.
