Recipe
Recipe for preparing chicken:
1 cup chopped onions (can leave out)
3 lb. chicken - I use a fryer
double or triple amounts for large Turkey breast or turkey)
Combine seasoning ingredients well in bowl and rub mixture into chicken skin - and a little inside cavity. Your hands will be very messy!
Place in sealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnite or at least 6 hrs. When ready to roast - stuff cavity w/ onions if desired.
Roast uncovered at 250 degrees for about 5 hours - baste occasionally w/ pan juices. I use a rack in a large pan and sometimes do several at a time. I have also used my gas grill on lowest temp. for about the same amount of time. You cannot believe how juicy and tasty this is.
These ingredients are just enough for one chicken.
I have multiplied this seasoning and always have some on hand to use as a substitute for seasoning salt. I don't like the commercial seasoning as it has msg in it.
One year I made a huge bowl/bag of it and put it in individual spice jars w/ a pretty ribbon on it and attached a recipe for the chicken, and gave it as Christmas favors for people who dropped by. I even had people call me and ask me for a refill! This was just before "rubs" became so popular
