Roast Sticky Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
• Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
• 2. Remove and discard giblets from chicken. Rinse chicken cavity and pat dry with paper towel.
• 3. Rub chicken with oil then inside and out and under the skin with spice mixture.
• 4. Place 1 onion into each cavity of the chicken.
• 5. Place chicken in a resealable bag or double wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 to 6 hours.
• 6. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place chicken in a roasting pan. Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Use meat thermometer to check in the thigh.
• 7. Baste a few times the last hour if not using a rotisserie.
• 8. Let the chicken stand, covered in foil, for 10 minutes.
• 9. Then carve.

Steps:

• 1. Blend spices together. Set aside. Remove insides from chicken and wash thoroughly. Rub chicken(s) inside and out with the spice rub, also some under the skin. Put onion inside cavity of chicken(s). Put chicken in a large zip lock bag and marinate several hours or overnight. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place chicken(s) in large roasting pan and cook 5 hours (yes that's right, 5 hours - don't worry, it's safe at that temperature). After the 1st hour, spoon some of the drippings over chicken about every 30-45 minutes. After cooking, let chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• (Day 1) Blend all spices together and set aside.
• Remove neck and giblets from chicken cavity, rinse well inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Rub with spice mixture, both inside and out, then stuff cavity with onions.
• Wrap in a resealable"food grade" plastic bag (I just use a new, unscented, white kitchen can liner.), tie closed, and refrigerate overnight.
• (Day 2) Remove from plastic bag and place in a shallow baking pan.
• Roast uncovered in a 250 F oven 5 hours.
• (This is not an error, I repeat, 250 F for 5 hours!) If the chicken contains a pop-up thermometer, ignore it.
• This recipe is SAFE.
• According to the United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, a whole chicken should reach an internal temperature of 180 F.

• Baste with drippings every 30 minutes after the first hour.
• (I admit I'm not consistent on this point, but it still comes out wonderful!) Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
