Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, rinsed
4 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup pineapple juice
½ cup orange juice
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place rinsed and dried chicken on a tray. Rub butter all over the chicken, top and bottom, then season evenly with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the pineapple juice and orange juice in the tray, not directly over the chicken.
