This Honey Orange Smoked Roasted Chicken Recipe is one of my personal favorites. It has everything I love, sweet, salty, savory, and smoked.
I made a simple honey butter infusion with Grand Marnier, and infused it underneath the skin with a steam. That way, while the chicken is roasting on the grill and buttery orange flavor steaming the inside while smoke chips are crisping the skin with outstanding flavor!
The thing I usually hate about cooking poultry is that the inside often gets dry......
I found a Turbo Roaster on the clearance rack 70 % off and decided to give it a try. This is a unique device that cuts down on cooking time: I can roast a chicken or cook a turkey in half the time. Plus, the birds are really tender and delicious which I love!The skin gets dark, even brittle in some places, locking in the juicy goodness....
I roasted the chicken in my 9 by 13 pan with a grated top. Then I added water to the pan to steam .This way it can go from the grill to the stove top for quick gravy making. The Turbo Roaster consists of a small jar with an attached metal tube. I filled the jar with chicken broth 2 T. butter, 1/2 cup Grand Marnier, and 1 tsp. honey. Then inserted the tube end into the stuffing in the bird . The heat from the grill causes the liquid to continuously steam the inside of your chicken or turkey, such that the bird cooks both from the inside and out.
This reduces your cooking time while insuring that the meat stays tender and moist. You can cook a chicken in about 45 minutes. . .a 24 pound turkey takes only 2 hours!
The combination of the succulent smoked steamed chicken , smothered in sweet buttery gravy with a hint of orange , tastes like a cherished childhood memory. I could eat this every week and never get tired of it.
