How To Make roasted sticky chicken

  • Step 1
    You need to start this the night before serving.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices.
  • Step 3
    Remove giblets from chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Step 4
    Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin.
  • Step 5
    Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.
  • Step 6
    When ready to roast chicken, stuff cavity with onions, and place in a shallow baking pan.
  • Step 7
    Roast, uncovered, at 250 degrees for 5 hours.
  • Step 8
    After the first hour, baste chicken occasionally (every half hour or so) with pan juices.
  • Step 9
    The pan juices will start to caramelize on the bottom of pan and the chicken will turn golden brown.
  • Step 10
    If the chicken contains a pop-up thermometer, ignore it.
  • Step 11
    Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before carving.
  • Step 12
    Variation: Get a lemon or two, use a fork and poke them full of holes, and put them in the chicken cavity.
  • Step 13
    Roast as usual.
