More About This Recipe

  • We’ve all gotten used to the term “rotisserie” to describe pre-cooked, ready-to-chicken. But actually, rotisserie is a style of roasting where meat is skewered on a spit. With a long solid rod to skewer it, the meat is cooked over a fire or roasted in an oven. What on special in the five-items-or-less-line at the market likely wasn’t grilled on a spit over an open flame, so not try your hand at making your own chicken? Meet your new dinner life-saver, whole chicken in crockpot. To make it happen, you just need a little organization and ten minutes of prep time will give you a whole chicken that tastes better than store-bought.
