Am I 'back'? No... not really. I'm still pondering whether I have the time and the urge to bring An American Housewife (housewifebarbie.com) back up or not. But in the meantime I had a couple pictures from my cellphone I could upload of our whole roasted chicken this week from dinner and thought I'd post because it is SO good and literally is just 2 ingredients.
Yes, two.
Two Ingredient Whole Roasted Chicken
1 whole chicken
Dale's Seasoning Marinade and Sauce
Place the chicken into your roasting container (pan, dish, etc) and pour over about 3/4 cup of Dale's. Pop it into the oven and roast until done according to weight and size of your chicken. Visit the oven a few times during roasting to spoon some of the marinade/drippings from the bottom of the pan over the top of the chicken. You can also flip your chicken over half way through cooking to get both sides browned and seasoned deeply.
Here is where I'm going to say you don't have to use Dale's if you don't want. You can find it in many grocery stores, Walmart has it, even Amazon of course... but the reason I started to buy it a few years ago is I realized it tasted almost exactly like MY homemade steak marinade that I've made for years (decades now) and loved; but since it tastes like mine, I might as well just buy a big container of it and I wouldn't have to mix up my own.
In December 2006 I included it on my site (it's actually been posted numerous times).

You can play with the amounts in it to suite your taste.
When I first starting making this recipe it was so many years ago we still used vegetable oil and real sugar (eek!) So for the past 2 years I've always substituted other options. I'm not a big fan of ginger so I go really light on that one. We don't use sugar much so I use low carb or keto options. Also sometimes add a smidgen of worchestershire sauce sometimes, etc. I also sometimes add hickory smoke liquid. I can tell you I always add extra fresh, minced garlic - so healthy and so good. Play with it.
