Sticky Chicken

Submitted by danlynclark

"This chicken tastes very much like rotisserie chicken sold in most grocery stores. The flavour is great, and the meat is so tender it practically falls off the bone. *Note* Prepare spice rub and place on chicken the night before you want to serve. It needs to marinate overnight. Cooking time with vary depending on the size of the chicken. Directions are for a 5-6 lb chicken."

This recipe goes way back. Known as Mimi's Sticky Chicken. I’ve made it several times. Such a great flavorful recipe. The last time I made it I used my NuWave Primo. It was done in 2 1/4 hours at 250. The skin was SO crispy. Try this recipe no matter how you bake/roast it, you will not be disappointed!

Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe. We enjoyed the chicken prepared this way. I cooked a 3 1/2 lb chicken for 4 hours at low heat suggested. It was very tender and juicy. The rub was perfect. I will be enjoying delicious chicken and tea biscuit sandwiches for lunch tomorrow, garnished with homemade candied cranberries. Made exactly as written for Best of 2014 Tag Game.

Wow, what a great cooking technique. I was amazed that the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender after 5 hours of cooking! I followed the directions and the result was a wonderful, flavorful, tender chicken. The only change I'll make next time is to cut the cayenne pepper amount in half. Thank you!

Excellent roasted chicken recipe. I absolutely love "throw it in the oven and forget it" recipes. Thank you.
