Giblets and all

Ladies, grab your apron and roll up your sleeves. You have to try this new rotisserie chicken recipe we had today for our Sunday afternoon meal! Thanks to my friend Heidi who gave me this delicious recipe, the spices, and the roasting pan to borrow (mine is still in a box in the garage). Yes, I did make the chicken. This was my first attempt to make a whole chicken. It was scary, especially when I opened up the chicken and saw a bag of giblets in its you know what. I took a few deep breaths and put my hand inside and pulled it out. It wasn't that bad.

Look....It turned out so pretty!

Here is Ozzie carving the chicken..........
and then I caught him sneaking a sample..............

Girls, don't be afraid. It really is easy and your husband will love it and love you even more! Isn't the way to a man's heart through his stomach?
Look what I got from my happy hubby................


Here is the yummy recipe...............

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

Ingredients:

4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 onions, quartered
2 (4 pound) whole chickens

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix together salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.Remove and discard giblets from chicken.Rinse chicken cavity, and pat dry with paper towel.Rub each chicken inside and out with spice mixture.Place 1 onion into the cavity of each chicken.Place chickens in a resealable bag or double wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 to 6 hours.Preheat oven to 250 degrees.Place chickens in a roasting pan.Bake uncovered for 5 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Let the chickens stand for 10 minutes before carving

I rubbed melted butter inside and outside of the chicken before I rubbed with the spices. It is a great Sunday meal b/c all the prep work is done the night before and it cooks while you are at church.

Enjoy!
