Overnight Spicy Roasted Chicken

Submitted by Monique Moriarty

A little extra planning is needed for this roast chicken recipe done in the crock pot, but the moist, delicious chicken dinner is well worth it.

What You Need:

4 tsp. salt

2 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp, thyme

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 lg. roasting chicken

1 lg. onion, quartered

How to Make It:

Mix all the spices together in a large mixing bowl.

Wash the chicken well and pat dry.

Discard any giblets.

Coat the chicken thoroughly with the spice mixture both inside and out.

Place the chicken in a pan and cover with saran wrap.

Refrigerate overnight.

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator.

Place the onions in the cavity of chicken.

Place the chicken in the crock pot.

Tip:

It is not necessary to add any type of liquid when roasting this chicken. The chicken produces it’s own juices as long as you don’t remove the cover while cooking.
