Did you know that you can make your own rotisserie-style chicken at home? Using your crock-pot produces fall-off-the-bone tender meat and crispy skin, and it takes practically no effort on your part. Plus, it’s healthier than the rotisserie chicken you buy at the store, and it tastes amazing! Ingredients: 1 whole chicken (approx. 5 lbs.), insides removed, washed, patted dry -OR- 4 bone-in split chicken breasts, excess fat trimmed off 2 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. dried rosemary ½ tsp. kosher salt ½ tsp. black pepper ½ tsp. onion powder ½ tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. dried oregano ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (you can add more if you like more heat) 1-2 Tbsp. water McCormick Montreal Steak Grill Seasoning Aluminum foil 6-qt. slow cooker Directions: Start by tearing 4 large pieces of aluminum foil, and rolling them into balls. Place the foil balls in the bottom of the slow cooker. The purpose of this step is that the foil rack will prevent the chicken from simmering in its juices, which helps keep the skin of the chicken crispier and the meat more intact. In a small bowl, combine all of the seasonings, except for the Montreal Steak Grill Seasoning. Add 1 Tbsp. of water to the spices, and stir together to form a paste. If the paste is too thick, add a little more water (1 more Tbsp. should be enough). Rub the paste all over the chicken- on top of the skin, and underneath the skin directly onto the meat. Sprinkle the top of the chicken with some Montreal Steak Grill Seasoning. Place the chicken into the slow cooker, resting it on top of the foil. DO NOT add any liquid to the slow cooker. Place the lid on, and cook on HIGH for 4 to 4.5 hours. Make sure the thickest part of the thigh has reached 180 degrees.
That was easy, right? Now that you’ve got your rotisserie-style chicken, there are countless ways to eat it– shredded in tacos, quesadillas, and soups; on top of pizza or baked potatoes; added to casseroles, salads, sandwiches, and wraps; or just grab a fork and dig in. If there are leftovers, you could freeze them to save for dinner another night.
