Roasted Chicken

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Roasting the Chicken

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh rosemary, making sure to get some seasoning inside the cavity.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Ingredients

    While the chicken is roasting, wash and prepare the lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  2. 7

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.

  3. 8

    Toast the Buns (Optional)

    If desired, lightly toast the Hawaiian buns in a skillet or toaster.

  4. 9

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each Hawaiian bun, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by shredded chicken, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
