Mimi's Sticky Chicken

By broots

This is the best and easiest roast chicken you've ever tasted.

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

Preparation

Step 1

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, stuff cavity with onions.

Place chicken breast side down in roasting pan.

Roast uncovered at 250ºF (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) for about 5 hours. Baste occasionally with pan juices or until pan juices start to caramelize on bottom of pan and chicken is golden brown.
