Roasted BBQ Chicken with garlic peas

Alright I know I've been skimpy on the posts but here was a quick one I will add being that I am in the thick of my toughest stretch in med school...

First I wanted to intersperse a couple of pictures of my family from my brief trip back to the States for my father's wedding.

A beautiful fall sunset and clouds in Brooklyn

A Candid shot of some of my cousins (I have a ton!)

My father and Pina the  morning of...

My Aunt Fran and cousin LoriAnn

This is where I gave my best man speech, made my Dad cry and Pina laugh!

Despite the fact there was a wedding going on there was also 6 Birthdays/anniversaries as well!

We had to make it official and hit up Nathans afterwards!

Nothing like the original

 Okay now on with the Chicken!

For this I found this big ole' chicken which you don't usually find out here so I decided to make my own BBQ sauce and roast her up.

I marinated it with Butter and paprika on the outside (with salt and pepper too of course).  I had one whole onion chopped up underneath with a local carrot stuffed inside as well as fresh oranges from the tree outside (yes I know they're green but welcome to the caribbean!)

The BBQ sauce consisted of ketchup, white vinegar, gravy master, worcestershire suace, Balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt pepper, lemon pepper and a splash of water.  I would tell you the exact amounts but they were all really a unspecific amounts and hard to really delineate.  

I roasted it at a low temp (300F) for about an hour.  I wanted to get that succulent taste as I basted it every 15 minutes to maintain its juiciness.

 Whipped up some garlic peas and that was dinner!

Buon appetito!
