While roasted chicken isn't a traditional July 4th meal, figured now was a good time to post this recipe. I've made reference before in other threads, but haven't actually gotten around to getting this up here. We've used this recipe for years - and our friends love it!
What you'll need:
- a roaster chicken
- some garlic cloves (6? 8? as you wish)
- 1 lemon
- 1 onion
- red bliss potatoes (or other potatoes cut so they aren't any larger than about 2", so that all cook at close to the same rate)
- some carrots (baby carrots work great for this)
- salt & pepper
- about 2 tablespoons of butter (non-medicated)
- 1 well used bag from a bag vape (Q, 'Cano, etc). Ideally, you want it once it's turned amber and is sticky
- seasoning of your choice - we like blackened or tarragon - but most any herb that you want on chicken will work
Optional: A little flour, if you wish to thicken your juices into gravy (highly recommended)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Take the non-medicated butter and, using your clean fingers/hands, spread it over the inside of the used vapor bag. This helps get the "yummies" from the bag onto your food while it cooks. Make sure you get the package of "guts" out of the chicken - discard (unless you use it for your gravy) and then wash out the chicken cavity with water and some salt. Fill the cavity (loosely) with your garlic, lemon wedges, and onion wedges. If you have leftover onion and garlic, that's fine - can add it to the veggies. Season your chicken with your choice of seasoning, salt and pepper.
Take the carrots, potatoes, and any other veggies you are using - place them inside the buttered up vapor bag. Place the chicken in the bag, on top of the veggies. Tie off the bag.
Bake until chicken is done (look at the package for cooking time recommendations).
Once the chicken is done, cut open the bag and pour the juices into a saucepan. Thicken with a little flour (add some gravy master or other stuff if you wish).
Slice up the chicken and serve with the veggies on the side. Top with gravy. While all the food is "medicated", we find the gravy is the most potent - so we let each person add their own gravy for comfort level purposes.
Enjoy!

I think the butter and fat from the chicken does a pretty decent job of taking the stale vapor off the inside of the bag and getting it in the food (particularly the gravy/juices).
