In general, procedures for roasting meat apply to poultry, too. That means if you use a dry rub on a steak, a dry rub will benefit a chicken. A blend of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne go on the skin and inside the cavity for a bright, spicy roast chicken. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons paprika |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon white pepper |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 roasting chicken (6 to 7 pounds) |
1 large onion, peeled and quartered |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the seasonings; set aside. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; pat dry. Tuck wings under chicken; tie drumsticks together. Rub seasoning mixture over the outside and inside of chicken. Place onion inside cavity.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Yield: 8 servings.
