Ingredients
- Directions:
- 8 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns, crushed
- 1 tablespoon whole allspice, crushed
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 roasting chicken
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 3/4 to 1 cup chicken broth

- ●Remove giblets from chicken; discard.
- ●Place cold water in a 2-gal. resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Place in a roasting pan. Carefully pour cooled brine into a bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible; seal bag and turn to coat.

- ●Discard brine. Rinse chicken with water; pat dry. Skewer chicken openings; tie drumsticks together. Brush with oil. Place chicken in a roasting pan.
- ●Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 80-90 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees, basting occasionally with pan drippings (cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly).
- ●Remove chicken to a serving platter and keep warm.
- ●Pour drippings and loosened browned bits into a measuring cup; skim fat and discard. Add enough broth to measure 1 cup.
- ●In a small saucepan, combine flour and broth mixture until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken.
