Roast Sticky Chicken^ (w/comments)
Recipe By : Busycooks@about.com (Lynn Nelson)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chicken Chicken - Raw
Diet Freezer
Freezer Meals Friendly-Freezer
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large chicken -- roasting
1 cup onion -- chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons salt
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove giblets
from chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making
sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin.
Place in a resealable plastic bag,seal and refrigerate overnight. When
ready to roast chicken, stuff cavity with onions, and place in a shallow
baking pan. Roast, uncovered, at 250 degrees F for 5 hours. After the
first hour, baste chicken occasionally (every half hour or so) with pan
juices.(It may take awhile to have pan juices) The pan juices will start
to caramelize on the bottom of pan and the chicken will turn golden brown.
If the chicken contains a pop-up thermometer, ignore it. Let chicken rest
about 10 minutes before carving.

"I made several 'mix' gift baskets and in each, I put a packet of sticky
chicken spices. At the same time, I made up a bunch for myself. Just
mixed all the spices together, put in a small bag and labelled. Now when
I make it, I just grab a bag and go.
Just a note - I wouldn't double or triple the recipe because of all the
different spices. When you try to separate into bags, you wouldn't get
the proper ratio of spices in each. I just laid out all my bags, and
measured directly into each.
For the small bags, I went to my bulk food store and the sweet lady sold
me some 'cause I wanted my gift baskets to look professional. She sold
me really tiny ones that she sells spices in." ~Debbie Ledger
Q: " Also what should I do with all of those great juices in the bottom
of the pan. Keep them and add to the broth after they are defatted?"
A: "I would tell her not to put them into the broth because they are
probably too spicy. When I make the whole roast sticky chicken, I often
toss a bit of the drippings (WITH the fat) with some peeled and cut up
potatoes and roast them. They're good, but you have to watch how much
you use because the drippings are VERY spicy from the cayenne and other
peppers." ~Lynn@Busycooks
"Previous Posters' Notes:
We love the sticky roast chicken recipe too. When whole chickens are on
sale, I buy a bunch (4-6) and make a huge batch of the spice rub and
assembly line rub the chicken. I double bag them and toss them in the
freezer and can have sticky chicken whenever I want, without having to
dig out all the spices and get my hands all messy everytime. I just pull
out a chicken and thaw overnight and roast it the next day. Works great.
Now as to doing a turkey, a few months ago I tried it on a very large
(23+ pounds) turkey I had bought on sale last thanksgiving. It was a
cheap storebrand turkey, and those usually dry out a bit on us too, so
my husband suggested using the rub from the sticky chicken recipe. I
forgot to do it the night before, so I just did it in the morning using
a double recipe of the spices and popped it in the oven and cooked
according to the regular directions for cooking turkey. We covered it
with foil for the first part of roasting and then uncovered it near the
end. It was delicious!! Very flavorful and moist. And to be on topic for
OAMC, we had plenty of leftovers that I used in casseroles, to freeze.
Hope this helps. This is one of the most popular recipes at our house.
We love making it for company and it is EASY when the meal is ready to
go in your freezer - just what OAMC is about!!

NOTES: here's the recipe. You can rub it into the chicken and then
freeze the chicken. But I prefer to package the spices into a little
baggie and use the mix when ready.

Q: My question is I would like to make the sticky chicken but I only
have chicken parts not the whole chicken. Do you think it would work
to thinly slice the onions, put them on the bottom of the roaster, and
then lay the seasoned chicken parts on top? I'm going to do this tomorrow
so any answers would be appreciated.
A: did you do this and how did it turn out?? I think it should be fine but
of course we want to know details!! Have a wonderful New Year, :o) ~Robbyn
Snider
Robbyn, The chicken turned out great!!!! I had a friend stop over while
it was baking and she commented on how good the smell was. (I think you'll
have another new subscriber soon. I keep passing on recipes from the list
but now I think she wants to get them all!) Anyway I used 10 lbs. of chicken
leg quarters. Last night I put the spice rub on them and put them in the
fridge until this afternoon. I used my large turkey roaster as it's not
only the largest pan I have but it's the only large one that would fit in my
very small wall oven. I covered the bottom of the pan with thin onion slices,
it took 1 large and two small onions but probably two medium onions would be
enough, and then layed the chicken pieces on top. Some of them over lapped
but it didn't seem to affect them any. I didn't get any juice for about 1
1/2 hours but once I did I basted every 1/2 hour as the recipe said. It
took 2 1/2 to 3 hours to cook the 10 lbs. (I wasn't watching the clock
when I put it in.) Question: I am going to debone the chicken to have it
ready for other recipes. Can I throw all the bones back into a pan, cover
with water and add onion, celery, and carrots to make a broth even though
they are cooked. Also what should I do with all of those great juices in
the bottom of the pan. Keep them and add to the broth after they are
defatted? Thanks for your encouragement. Now you know that it's possible
to have sticky chicken when you don't have the whole chicken!

Q: Hi..would like to try the recipe but....when you say a large chicken,
how many pounds do you mean? I have one in the fridge for lunch tomorrow
but this 'large' chicken weighs 11 pounds...250ø for 5 hours would never
get him cooked so...
Thanks for your help Renate >>
A: well I believe a "large" chicken is considered about 5 lbs or so..
so you would have to double the spices.. the time would probably be 7
hours instead of 5.. maybe a bit more.. Have a wonderful New Year, :o)
Q> Can I cook Roastes Sticky Chicken in a Crockpot for summer?
A> First, the oven temperature for this recipe is only 250 degrees,
that shouldn't really heat up the kitchen. Use an oven thermometer
to make sure your oven's thermostat is accurate.
I've never made Sticky Chicken in the crockpot, but I wouldn't recommend
it. It wouldn't be the same dish at all. The spices on the skin sort of
caramelize during the low, long roasting, making a delicious crispy,
chewy, sticky skin. The crockpot makes rubbery skin (IMO). I do cook
chicken all the time in the crockpot, but mainly for the meat and broth.
I've received so many questions about this recipe (can I use a turkey,
can I cook it in the crockpot, can I cook it on the grill, can I use
chicken parts, etc) that I should do a Sticky Chicken FAQ! LOL!
Now if anyone has actually tried cooking it in the crockpot, could
you share the results please?
Thanks!

NOTES : This recipe is a staple of my childhood. When I was a kid, my
mother often found herself trying to come up with something using the
items in her pantry--especially at the end of the month, right before
payday!
She threw this together one night, and it was a hit. When we asked her
what it was, she had no idea...."I don't know, just some gook."
The name stuck, much to the dismay of any non-family member who was
served it!
