2 roasting chickens (about 4.5 lb each)
or 1 capon (about 9 lb)
2 Tsp cinnamon
1 Tsp dried thyme
1 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp pepper

With poultry shears or large, sharp knife, cut chicken into
serving-size pieces. Mix together cinnamon, thyme, salt and pepper.
Rub mixture all over surface of chicken pieces. In large, nonstick
or lightly greased baking pan (or 2 smaller pans), arrange pieces,
skin side up, slightly apart in single layer. Roast in 375F (190C)
oven, basting occasionally with pan drippings, for about 1 hour or
until juices run clear when thickest parts of chicken are pierced
and skin is crisp and browned. (If you prefer not to eat the skin,
the meat is still well-flavored with the seasoning.)
