Kirkland Roaster Chicken

We had this chicken at Kim's one night and everyone immediately asked for the recipe. It was great! It came from Kim's friend Sue. Kim says "I obviously did not follow it exactly."

Place ingredients in the blender and blend until the mixture is smooth, about a minute. Brush the chicken liberally, including the cavity. Put the reserved lemon rind in the cavity. Now put the seasoned chicken in the plastic produce bag, tie the end and refrigerate.

• fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
  
• rind of 1 lemon, zested
  
• 1/4 c. olive oil
  
• 8 cloves fresh garlic
  
• 2 teaspoons whole basil (I use dried spices)
  
• 2 teaspoons whole thyme
  
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  
• One fresh chicken 3-4 lbs (or pieces)
  

Remove the chicken from the bag. Squeeze out, pastry style, from the bag any remaining herb seasoning and brush this over the chicken. Roast the chicken in a 350-400 degrees F on smoker/bbq with lid on for 1-1/2 hours or until the hip joints reach 165 degrees.
