If I’m going to go through the trouble of roasting a chicken, I decided I might as well roast 3.  Hy-Vee had their whole roasters on sale for $.59 a lb a few weeks ago and I snagged 3 and filled my roaster.  Once they were cool, I deboned the meat and put some meat in 2 cup portions in the freezer plus 3 frozen 9 x 13 dishes of chicken enchiladas.  The plain bagged chicken can be used for chicken salad, chicken soup, burritoes etc.  Here’s the Rub recipe I used:

My Mama’s Herb Chicken Rub x 3:

1 Tablespoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

3/4 teaspoon savory

3/4 teaspon thyme

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Place chickens breast side up in a greased roasting pan.  Mix all spices and rub onto the breasts of the chickens.   Bake covered at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the chickens are browned and tender.
