How to Make Rotisserie Chicken in the Crock Pot

A crock pot can be a wonderful kitchen aid for the working mom or any family. Rotisserie chicken in your crock pot is a delicious and simple meal for anyone. Buying an entire chicken is usually less expensive, and if you catch them on sale, they do keep well in your freezer for a couple weeks. Cornish hens also work well with this recipe.

Wash the chicken thoroughly and place on a plate. Salt, pepper and season to taste. Sometimes we use a touch of lemon pepper. Next wad several sheets of aluminum foil and place in the bottom of your crock pot. Place the chicken on top of the foil, making sure there is a layer of foil between the chicken and the crockpot. Place the lid firmly on the crockpot and cook on low heat while you are at work. For faster cooking, cook on high heat for two - three hours, depending on the strength of your crockpot. You will be able to tell when the chicken is done. It will be very tender to the touch.

Using tongs, carefully lift the chicken out and onto a serving plate. It is so tender, it will be falling apart. You have delicious rotisserie style chicken and it goes well with any side dish.
