Update with recipe: The recipe for sticky chicken has been requested, so I thought I'd just post it for everyone. It's a recipe I got from the lovely Laurel at Laurel Wreath's Reflections.
STICKY CHICKEN
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
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.
Your meals always make my mouth water! I actually posted my meal plans this week, too!

ReplyDeleteI haven't done a menu in a few weeks but feel like I need to! But hubby's work schedule has just been too crazy for planning. I've heard of sticky chicken for years and how good it is but I've never tried it!
ReplyDeleteI need to get back to posting my menu plan. I do one...I have to. Your sticky chicken sounds alot like my Candy Chicken.....I think mine is sweeter though. I hope your days are much better this week. I know you had a tough time. Hoping spring time comes fast for us all.
