R.O.D-Sticky Chicken

Sticky Chicken

(SparkPeople) 4 tsp. salt 2 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. thyme 1 tsp. white pepper 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1 large roasting chicken 1 cup chopped onion In small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove giblets from chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with a paper towel.  If chicken came with a pop-up timer, discard it. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin.  Place the whole thing in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. When ready to roast chicken, stuff cavity with onions and place in shallow baking pan. Roast, uncovered at 250 degrees for 5 hours.  After the first hour, baste the chicken with pan juices every half an hour or so.  The pan juice will start to caramelize on the bottom of the pan and the chicken will turn golden brown.  Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before carving.
