Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lg Chicken -- roasting
1 Onion -- chopped
1/2 teaspoon Black
pepper 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon White
pepper 1 teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Cayenne
pepper 2 teaspoon Paprika
4 teaspoon Salt
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove giblets
from chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making
sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin.
Place in a resealable plastic bag,seal and refrigerate overnight. When
ready to roast chicken, stuff cavity with onions, and place in
ashallow baking pan. Roast, uncovered, at 250 degrees F for 5 hours.
After the first hour, baste chicken occasionally (every half hour or
so) with pan juices. (It may take awhile to have pan juices) The pan
juices will start to caramelize on the bottom of pan and the chicken
will turn golden brown.
If the chicken contains a pop-up thermometer, ignore it. Let chicken
rest about 10 minutes before carving.
Now I mulitply this about 20x and make it in my roaster oven- using boneless/skinless chicken breasts...I leave out the cayenne cause the kidlets won't eat it- and I keep the broth and onion left to warm up chicken in the microwave..when I cook in roaster oven I layer the onions under and over the chicken pieces.
Enjoy!
