Difficulty: Easy
Mimi's Sticky Chicken has got to be the best roasted chicken ever. If you have never roasted a chicken, don't be intimidated. Just rub seasoning all over the inside, outside & under the skin, then pop into a hot oven. It's that simple.
If you have heat (as in picante and not caliente) sensitive people in your Haus (wimps & small children) notice that the recipe does call for 3 kinds of pepper (cayenne, black & white). I do not think this recipe is hot in anyway, just flavorful.
This roasted chicken is great the first time around & perfectly wonderful for leftovers. I roasted 2 chickens tonight (adding some rosemary that I had lying around) because I need chicken-as-an-ingredient for meals later in the week. My oven is not big enough for a roasting pan, so I shoved both chickens into my 9X13 stoneware dish, breast side down.
Sorry about the chicken butts - that's just how it was!This is yet another example of how small the oven is.
The chicken was served with Bratkartoffeln. Tonight I used mostly peeled red potatoes & some wunderbar Bratkartoffel seasoning I picked up at the Wiesbaden Christmas Market.
I started by cooking 2 slices of bacon, adding some evoo, then dumping the potatoes, onion & seasonings in the pan.
Meat & Potatoes were served with microwaved green peas & mixed veggies, also nuked.
The chicken carcasses & veggies from the roasting pan went into a stock pot. I'll have lots of broth for soups & sauces. I'll freeze it to use later.
Leftover potential: Endless possibilities for the chicken. Tomorrow I am making Southwestern Chicken Wraps to take to a party. The rest of the leftover chicken will keep in the fridge for a few days, or the freezer for a few months. Veggies can be reheated in the microwave or frozen in the soup-bucket. Potatoes: reheat in the microwave or in a pan, add to breakfast burritos.

Question: On the sticky chick...do you just add the pepper and put in the oven? Do you add EVOO, ETC.? I didn't see the reciepe part. Thanks, Hugs, Heather
