Best Mothers Sticky Roasted Chicken Cajun Recipes
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!

Steps:
- Thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove the giblets from chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture both inside and out of the chicken, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin. I also like to put some under the skin. Refrigerate overnight in a sealable plastic bag.
- When ready to roast chicken, stuff the cavity with the onion, and place in a shallow baking pan. Roast, uncovered, at 250º for 5 hours (yes, that isn't a typo, for five hours).
- After the first hour, baste the chicken occasionally (then every half hour or so) with the pan juices. The pan juices will start to caramelize on the bottom of pan. The chicken will turn golden brown. As with most cooked meat, let the chicken rest about 10 minutes before carving.
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.

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!
