Chicken in an old fashioned brown paper bag was also called a poke.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash chicken well, inside and out. Dry off inside and out with a paper towel. Sprinkle generously inside and out with the 4 spices listed above.
Place the spiced chicken in the brown paper bag and roll up the end of the bag. Place the bagged chicken in a roasting pan with a slotted grill rack; place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes per pound. The smell is heavenly as it cooks.
When through baking, take the chicken and bag out of the oven and let it cool off a few minutes. Tear the bag open and place the chicken on a large platter, and pour the juices from the bag all over the chicken. Its a great, fast way to have a delicious meat for the table. Try this one time and you will love it. It's very easy and you don't have to stand at the stove and keep checking it.
