Roasted Chicken

ROASTED CHICKEN

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon white pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 onion, quartered
1 large, whole chicken


Mix spices in bowl. Set aside. Rinse chicken and pat dry, inside and outside. Rub chicken inside and outside with spices. Place onion inside cavity. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake uncovered until golden brown and the drumsticks don’t resist being pulled (about 1 ½ hours or longer depending on the size of the chicken).

*You can prep the chicken up to a day ahead and just pop it in the oven about 1 ½ to 2 hours before you want to eat.

*To make this even faster and easier, you can mix up a few batches worth of the spice rub at a time to keep on hand.
