This recipe is great when you find whole chickens on sale. I will often double this recipe (making 2 chickens) and freeze the meat for future dishes or chicken salad. Ingredients:
4 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons paprika, not hot |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon thyme, dried |
1 teaspoon white pepper |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 large roasting chicken |
1 cup onion, chopped |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices.
2. Remove giblets from chicken. Dry the chicken (interior and exterior) with paper towels so the spice mix will stick.
3. Rub the spice mixture over the chicken and inside the cavity. Make sure that it is evenly distributed.
4. Put chicken into a large sized storage bag and refrigerate overnight.
5. When ready to roast chicken, stuff the cavity with chopped onions.
6. Place in shallow 9x13 baking dish lined with foil. Roast uncovered at 250 degrees for 5 hours.
7. After first hour, baste the chicken every 30 minutes with pan juices.
8. Let chicken rest so that juices distribute before carving.
9. NOTES: I often will bring whole chickens home from the grocery store. Season them according to this recipes directions, place them in a freezer storage bag and put right into the freezer. Then when I want to make Sticky Chicken, its already seasoned and marinates while thawing. Another thing I do is make a bunch of the seasoning mix and put into a spice jar. This is a big time saver and its ready to use when I want to make this recipe.
