Roast Sticky Chicken

[r8rpwr]

I have no idea why this is called "sticky" chicken, as it is not sticky. The leftovers are great in spicy things like jambalaya or Mexican chicken casseroles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp white pepper (don't *have* to use. i thihk it's spicier with it)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large roasting chicken
1 cup chopped onion (you can use onion powder instead and it turns out yummy still)

In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove giblets from chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin. Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight (I don't do this). When ready to cook chicken put it in the crockpot and do not add any liquid. As the cooking process goes on it will produce its own juices. Cook on low 8 to 10 hours and it will be falling off the bone tender.

here's another version:



Sticky Chicken

You can make this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead. Just increase the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
2 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger root
1/8 tsp. pepper

3-4 lbs. boneless chicken pieces


Combine all ingredients except chicken in shallow baking dish, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add chicken and turn to coat well. Cover dish and refrigerate 24 hours.

When ready to prepare, transfer chicken and marinade to a large heavy nonstick skillet.

Bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring each piece occasionally. Check breasts for doneness (180 degrees F on an instant read thermometer) and remove to a shallow pan as they test done. Cover with foil and place in warm oven to keep warm.

Increase skillet heat to medium and cook remaining marinade until syrupy, stirring constantly, about 8-10 minutes. Return chicken to skillet, coat with the sauce, and serve immediately - with lots of hot cooked rice! Serves 8
