Combine all spices. Clean cavity of chicken and pat dry. Rub spice mixture into chicken inside & out. Place in bag in fridge overnight.

When ready to roast, stuff cavity with onions and place in shallow pan. Roast, uncovered at 250 (Yup, that’s 250) for 5 hours. After about 1 1/2 hours baste with pan juices. This is very moist and delicious but spicy. If you have mild tastes, reduce the cayenne a bit but be sure to keep some in the recipe. The gravy is very spicy and delicious.
