Description

I think I use less salt and use tarragon instead of thyme. I also usually don't cook it quite as long, it really depends on your oven and how well-done you like your bird.

Ingredients

4 t Salt
2 t paprika
1 t cayenne pepper
1 T Onion Powder
1 t thyme
1 t white pepper
1⁄2 t Garlic Powder
1⁄2 t Black Pepper
1 very large roasting chicken
1 c Chopped Onion

Instructions

For chopped onion (don't worry, you don't actually eat it and it's optional)

Mix all spices in a bowl. Remove giblets from chicken. Clean chicken and pat dry. Rub spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out (chicken massage!). Place in a sealed plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to cook. Stuff cavity with onions (optional), place in shallow baking pan. Roast, uncovered at 250 degrees for 5 hours (yes, you read that right). After the first hour, baste occasionally (every 1/2 hour or so) with pan juices. Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before carving.
