Spicy Chicken Drumsticks

4 tsp. salt  
2 tsp. paprika  
1 tsp. chili powder  
1 tsp. onion powder  
1 tsp. thyme leaves  
1 tsp. white pepper  
1/2 tsp. garlic powder  
1/2 tsp. black pepper  
4 lbs. chicken, I've been using drumsticks, skinned if desired but not necessary  
1 cup chopped onions

Thoroughly combine salt and all the spices in a small bowl. Slice onions and place in the bottom of a crock pot. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Rub (or sprinkle) the spice mixture into chicken. Place chicken in crock pot directly on top of sliced onions. Sprinkle any left over spices on chicken. Cook on medium for 4-6 hours.
