Rotisserie-Style Chicken

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 1-1/4 hours + standing YIELD: 6 servings.
My mother used to fix this rotisserie-style chicken when I lived at home, and we called it Church Chicken because Mom would put it in the oven Sunday morning before we left for church. When we got home, the aroma of the roasted chicken would hit us as we opened the door. —Brian Stevenson, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  • 1. Mix the first 7 ingredients. Rub over the outside and inside of chicken. Place in a large dish. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350°. Place chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under chicken; tie drumsticks together. Place onion around chicken in pan.
