This is made with cayenne pepper but I am sure that you can use a
different kind and it would be a lot hotter and more up our alley but I
made it with the cayenne because DH is not a chile-head. He said that it
was nicely spicy, not overly. It was quite good.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      tsp           salt
   1      tsp           paprika
     3/4  tsp           cayenne pepper
     1/2  tsp           onion powder
     1/2  tsp           thyme
     1/2  tsp           white pepper
     1/4  tsp           garlic powder
     1/4  tsp           black pepper
   1      whole         chicken (about 3 lb)
   1      cup           onions -- chopped

Combine all spices (first 8 ingredients) in small bowl. 

Rinse chicken, inside & out. Drain well.

Rub spice mixture over skin and the inside of the chicken. Place in a
resealable bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to roast, stuff cavity with onions. Place chicken
breast-side-up in roasting pan.

Roast, uncovered, at 250°F (that's not a typo...it's really 250°F).
Baste occasionally with pan juices or until pan juices start to
caramelize on bottom of pan and chicken is golden brown, about 5 hours.

Mimi's notes: Anything over 225°F is safe as long as the chicken reaches
an internel temperature of at least 155°F, which this does, and more for
about 5 hours.

NOTES : Risa's notes: I did not use a whole chicken, I used a whole
chicken cut-up. I also cooked it in the Nesco so the juices did not
caramelize, the fat dripped out and that was what was left at the bottom
of the pan. It still browned though and was crispy.

I served it with roasted red skin potatoes, butternut squash puree and
baby carrots.
