Spice Rub
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

Steps:

Day 1: Blend the spice rub ingredients and set aside. Remove neck and giblets from inside chicken cavity, rinse well inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub with the spice mixture both inside and out, then stuff cavity with onions. Wrap in a resealable "food grade" plastic bag, tie closed and refrigerate overnight. Day 2: Remove from plastic bag, and place chicken in a shallow baking pan. Roast uncovered in a 250F oven for 5 hours. If the chicken contains a pop-up thermometer, ignore it. Baste with drippings every 30 minutes after the first hour. Let stand 10 minutes before carving.
