  1. This chicken came out so flavorful it was terrific! Instead of baking it as directed though I did mine on the rotisserie.
     
  2. Although a great many similar recipes exist, roasting chicken at 250 degrees for 5 hours is risky. That temperature is definitely outside the USDA guidelines, and bacteria may be growing and multiplying quite a while. Poultry, especially, should not be cooked at less than 325 degrees. To be safe use the same spices but increase the temperature to 325 and decrease the oven time. Allow about 20 minutes per pound for the roasting time. The safest way to determine doneness is to use a meat thermometer and make sure the final temperature, in the thigh, is the 180 degrees stated in this recipe.
