Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated garlic, paprika, oregano, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Rub the chicken all over with the butter mixture.

Stuff the cavity with 1/2 an onion, wrap the chicken legs with kitchen twine, and tuck in the chicken wings.

Cover and place it in the oven.

While the chicken cooks, place the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire Sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Cook the sauce for 20 minutes or until nicely thickened.

Once the BBQ sauce is done the cooking, coat the chicken with half of the BBQ sauce and place the chicken back into the oven uncovered.

Brush the chicken with bbq sauce every 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.

Cook until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes covered before carving.
