SLOW ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven 300°F.*
• Combine kosher salt, garlic, pepper, and paprika into a small bowl.
• Rinse out cavity and pat dry chicken with paper towels.
• Transfer the sliced onion on a baking sheet and spread it out to accommodate the size of the bird. The chicken will be resting on the onions to absorb flavor, but you also want to roast/blacken the onions to get unbelievable flavorful crunchy onions.
• Sprinkle the cavity with a few good pinches of seasoning.
• Lay the chicken on top of the onions back facing up.
• Drizzle the chicken and onions with olive oil. Rub the chicken all around back with oil.
• Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 of the remaining seasoning.
• Flip chicken breast side up.
• Drizzle the top of the chicken with more olive oil and rub it in. Get into the crevices.
• Sprinkle the chicken with remaining seasoning.
• Place in a preheated 300° oven for 3 hours. Temperature should read 165° when inserted on thickest part of thigh without touching bone. The time can be checked after 3 hours.
• Remove the chicken. Use a spoon to scoop up the juices and drizzle it over the chicken.
• Rest ten minutes before carving. You probably won't need a knife. It falls off the bone. Serve with the onions. Unbelievable!
• Enjoy!

• Place the celery and quartered onions into the cavity of the chicken. Rub the chicken with the reserved spice mixture, and set into the roasting pan.
• Cover, and bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the pan, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before serving.
