In my attempt to make one meal in the slow-cooker every week, I decided to go with my fave standby...Roast Sticky Chicken. We were super disappointed in the 40-garlic chicken, so this time I had to make something I knew was good. I have been making the Sticky Chicken for at least 10 years. I have no idea where the recipe originally came from, but I do know it's super easy, cheap and delicious. This chicken rivals any rotisserie chicken you would buy from the grocery store, but after slow cooking all day it falls apart, juicy and tender. Tonight I am serving it with the acorn squash.
Roast Sticky Chicken in the Crock-Pot
* 4 teaspoons salt
* 2 teaspoons paprika
* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon thyme
* 1 teaspoon white pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 onion, sliced
* 1 large roasting chicken (I use about a 4lb bird)
Combine all dry ingredients in bowl and set aside.
Remove all giblets and rinse the chicken well, inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels.
Stuff sliced onions in cavity and complete rub chicken with spice mixture. Place chicken in the crock pot "bowl", cover with lid and place in fridge overnight. If you don't have slow-cooker that separates from the heating element, then marinate chicken overnight in a large ziploc bag.
Cook on low 8-10 hours and Voila!
NOTE: This chicken is best if made the night before to soak in the rub.
Because of the way chicken so easily falls of the bone, it doesn't make for a great photo.
I want to make this Sticky Chicken next weekend! Today we are making a Rump Roast Au Jus in the slow cooker. We have made it before and it is tasty with kluski noodles. The roast just falls apart after 8 hrs on low. Yum.
