Mimi's Sticky Chicken

This is Mimi's original recipe. It's great. Trust me when I tell you that once you've had this your hooked for life. When roasted chicken is this easy to prepare and this good, you have no need to get take out. Note: This is another way that works. You don't quite get the sticky chicken affect but you get all the great flavor. I place the sliced onion on the bottom of a large baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Placed leg quarters on top. Rubbed with Mimi's Sticky Chicken rub and baked as I usually do for about 45-1hr. It was great!

List of Ingredients

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 whole roasting chicken, about 3 pounds
1 cup chopped onions




Recipe

Combine all spices (first 8 ingredients) in small bowl.

Rinse chicken, inside and out. Drain well.

Rub spice mixture over skin and the inside of chicken.

Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to roast, preheat oven to 250° F and stuff cavity with onions.

Place chicken breast side down in roasting pan.

Roast uncovered at 250ºF for about 5 hours,(that's not a typo,it's really 250º. Anything over 225º is safe as long as the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 155º, which this does, and more).

Baste occasionally with pan juices or until pan juices start to caramelize on bottom of pan and chicken is golden brown.

Serves 4.
