Preparation
Step 1
Besides being down right delicious, it was also so simple. I had bought a whole chicken and washed it with cold water, pulled the neck, gizzard and liver out of the inside and placed in a large ziploc bag.
I have had this bottle of buffalo wing sauce and marinade sitting in the pantry for a while waiting for me to make wings. But I thought maybe I could make a killer roast chicken with it instead.
I just poured about a cup all over the chicken, outside and inside.
It marinaded for a few hours in the fridge before I roasted it. To prep for roasting, I cut up about 5-6 pieces of celery and put inside of the chicken's cavity.
I put 2 tablespoons of softened butter and a 1/2 teaspoon of ranch mix in with the celery as well.
I melted two more tablespoons of butter and poured the remainder of the ranch mix envelope into the melted butter.
After putting the chicken in the deep covered baker breast side up, I simply spooned the ranch and butter mixture over the chicken.
I baked the chicken on 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I would baste the chicken several times during the baking time to make sure plenty of moisture was getting into the chicken. When I pulled it out of the oven, I let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
