1. Rinse raw chicken, pat dry with paper towels and discard towels. Rub in 2 tsp olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and ground pepper.2. Place the whole chicken in a resealable bag and cover with BBQ sauce. Remove all the air, seal the bag and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
3. Set the chicken on a kitchen counter to warm up to room temperature for 1-2 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 425°F.
