Ingredients

• 4 pounds Whole chicken
• 0.25 cups Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil or a baking rack.

Step 2

Remove any giblets from the chicken cavity and pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breast-side up in the prepared roasting pan.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Sriracha sauce, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.

Step 4

Using a basting brush or your hands, rub the Sriracha marinade generously all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity. Reserve a small portion of the marinade for basting later.

Step 5

Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings underneath to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 7

If the chicken skin begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the final 20-30 minutes of cooking.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This helps retain its juices.

Step 9

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or steamed rice.
