Ingredients
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black ground pepper
  • 1 cup yellow onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup chicken stock (or water)
  • 4 tablespoons lard
Preparation
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Wash and pat dry chicken.
  2. In a small bowl, mix paprika, cumin, onion powder, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle and pat the spice mixture on the chicken and around the wall of the chicken cavity. Twine chicken legs together.
  3. Lay chopped onion onto a baking dish, pour chicken stock or water onto onion, and sit the spiced chicken onto the bed of onion. Drizzle lard over the chicken.
  4. Bake the chicken uncovered, for total of 50-60 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken and your oven. Check chicken after 40 minutes of baking, drizzle some juice from the bottom of the baking dish onto the chicken and continue to bake until is cooked.
  5. Test the chicken temperature by inserting a thermometer into the thickest part of the breast between the thigh area and not touching the bones. When the temperature reaches160°F (70°C), chicken should be cooked.
  6. Remove chicken from oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Pour the chicken juice from the baking dish into a serving cup. Drizzle chicken juice onto sliced meat when serving.
