ROAST STICKY CHICKEN-ROTISSERIE STYLE
Ever wish you could get that restaurant-style rotisserie chicken at home? Well, with minimal preparation and about 5 hours' cooking time (great for the weekends!) you can! I don't bother to baste the bird, though some like to for the first hour. The pan juices always caramelize at the bottom, and the chicken will turn golden brown...fall-off-the-bone good!

MOTHER'S STICKY ROASTED CHICKEN (CAJUN)
Cut this out of a newspaper decades ago, and is still one of our special, favorite meals. The article stated it is Paul Prudhomme's mother's recipe, but that was before we hardly knew who HE was! As a testament to how valued this recipe is, I will tell you that my husband had one day pushed me to my ultimate limit and I threw the recipe out! Wow! That brought him to his knees! After another couple of years, I produced my secret copy of it. He never forgot the lesson! These days, we are more accustomed to highly spiced foods, and I therefore triple the spices. I also let it marinate, refrigerated, for 2 days or even a bit longer to really infuse the flavor.

Steps:
- Combine spices and massage mixture into chicken, inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed deep down into skin. Seal in plastic bag and refrigerate at least 24 hours, or 2 days.
- When ready to roast, fry chopped onions in a bit of oil to partially cook them before stuffing chicken's cavity as full as possible with the hot onions. Truss the cavity to keep onions in and roast uncovered at 250' about 5 hours, basting occasionally with pan juices, or until pan juices start to caramelize on bottom of pan and chicken is golden brown, skin is crisp.
- Make a gravy of the pan drippings, with a slurry of flour or corn starch, as with any other roast. Serve with the onions and mashed potatoes.

MAMA PRUDHOMME'S STICKY ROASTED CHICKEN
Printed in a newspaper about 25 years ago, we have treasured this recipe. In fact, my most effective threat to set things right in the family was threatening to throw out this recipe! It was attributed to Paul P.'s mother. It is borderline hot, fall-apart luscious, crispy skin with a killer gravy. I have made slight changes, such as using a 6# baking hen in place of a 3# chicken, but have adjusted the recipe accordingly. We like hot, so I use half again the quantity of spices but that is at your discretion. So here it is for your enjoyment, never to be lost or God forbid, thrown out!

BASIC ROASTED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the inside of the chickens liberally with salt and pepper. Stuff each bird with 3 sprigs thyme, 2 cloves garlic, the bay leaf, onion and lemon. As the chickens cook, this will help keep them moist and also flavor the bird from the inside.
- Using kitchen twine, tie the legs together of each bird, and then tuck the wing tips underneath each body so it cooks evenly. Place the birds on a roasting rack over a roasting tray then sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the joint between the leg and thigh registers 165 degrees F, approximately 1 hour more. When the chicken is done, the skin will be crispy and golden and the juices of the chicken will run clear. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken is more flavorful than a chicken breast or thigh. It also gives you more options for cooking, such as roasting, baking, or frying.
- Dry the chicken thoroughly before cooking: This will help the skin crisp up and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Season the chicken liberally: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the chicken. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the skin crisp up and the meat cook evenly.
- Baste the chicken with the sauce frequently: This will help the chicken stay moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Mama Prudhomme's Sticky Roasted Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
