- In large bowl combine all of the spices.
- Remove giblets from chicken, clean cavity and pat the chicken dry.
- Place the chicken in the large bowl with spices.
- Rub the spice mixture into the chicken inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and deep into the skin.
- Place chicken in resealable plastic bag (or use your foodsaver).
- Seal and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to roast the chicken, preheat oven to 250.
- Stuff cavity with onion and place in a shallow baking pan breast side down until the last hour of cooking.
- Roast uncovered at 250 for 5 hours (cooking time is less if you use a smaller chicken).
