Roast Sticky Chicken
This is like a rotisserie-style chicken that you get in the grocery. You need to start this the night before serving.
It is extremely moist and flavorful!
List of Ingredients
- 4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 large rosting chicken, as big as you can get
- 1 C chopped onion, opt
Instructions
- In a bowl combine all the spices.
- Remove giblets from chicken, clean out cavity and pat dry.
- Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both sides, inside and out, and as deep into the skin as you can get.
- Place in a resealable bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.
- OPTIONAL: When ready to cook, stuff cavity with onions. I have never done this since my family does not like onions that much.
- Place in shallow baking pan uncovered at 250 degrees for 5 hours (YES, 5 hours - its worth it)
- After first hour, baste chicken with its juices every hour or so, at first there won't be much to baste with but as it cooks more juices will appear.
- Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving
Final Comments
If the chicken contains a pop up thermometer, ignore it.
This is one of my husband's favorite recipes for chicken.
