Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the chicken halves with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast for 45-50 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). In the last 10 minutes, brush with BBQ sauce.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    While the chicken is roasting, season the pork ribs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Preheat a grill or oven to 300°F (150°C) and cook the ribs for about 2-2.5 hours, until tender. Brush with BBQ sauce in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fries

    Cut the potatoes into fry shapes. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve the Combo

    Place the roasted half chicken and half rack of ribs on a serving platter. Serve with a generous portion of fries on the side. Drizzle extra BBQ sauce over the chicken and ribs if desired.
