2 Tablespoon chili powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
pinch of salt to taste
1 to 2 whole fryer chickens

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Place chickens in a roasting pan with 1/2 inch of water. Take mixed ingredients rub in and on chicken. Pull skin back and rub underneath (try to rub everywhere between the skin and meat without ripping too big a hole in the skin). Use as much or as little rub as you like. Cover and place in oven for about an hour at 375 degrees or until done. Once done pull out of oven and place chicken on serving platter and cover. Optionally, take broth in roasting pan and place in a saucepan, whisk in 1-2 Tablespoon(s) of cornstarch and bring to a boil whisking often. Serve with baked potato and fresh vegetables!
