(Chicken) Meat Loaf

2lbs ground chicken breast
1/2 cup grated romano cheese
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1 egg
1 cup spaghetti sauce (I use Newman's Own "Sockeroonie" for extra flavor)
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 pinch each of salt, pepper and Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 400. Spray baking sheet/pan with Pam/nonstick spray. Combine all ingredients, except the sauce, in a large bowl and mix with hands. Mold into a "loaf" and place on sheet. Top with sauce and bake for 1hr. Let stand about 10mins before slicing. Enjoy!

Sticky Chicken
4 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large roasting chicken
1 cup chopped onion

In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove giblets from chicken, clean the cavity well and
pat dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is
evenly distributed and down deep into the skin. Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate
overnight. When ready to cook chicken put onion in the cavity and put it in the crockpot and do not add
any liquid. As the cooking process goes on it will produce it's own juices. Cook on low 8 to 10 hours and
it will be falling off the bone tender.
