Rotisserie Chicken

Rotisserie Chicken is Great in the Slow Cooker

I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure if this recipe would work out as rotisserie chicken is typically made on a rotisserie but not only did it work, it tastes amazing as well! It’s one of the easiest recipes to put together for dinner as well. You can start it first thing in the morning and it’ll be finished when you get home from work. It’s that simple.

What is Rotisserie Chicken?

Rotisserie chicken is chicken prepared on a spit which is a long metal rod that is pushed through the chicken. It then rotates and cooks until finished. While this method technically does not use a rotisserie, it does taste just like a rotisserie chicken which is why we’ve named it as such. It’s also far more convenient for the busy person who doesn’t have much time to cook when they are home.

Mike’s Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken Tips & Tricks

Ensure that the chicken is propped up on wadded balls of tin foil or a rack that fits in your crockpot. You must truss the chicken (tie the legs) otherwise it will fall apart in your slow cooker. Crisping the skin at the end under the broil setting in your oven is what gives it a crispy skin and I highly recommend not skipping this step. Cooking in this method also reduces the grease on the chicken as it’s lifted above the melted fat. This makes it taste better than the ones you can get in the stores!

How To Reheat a Rotisserie Chicken

I’m sharing this because this question does seem to come up a lot when I’m looking at these types of recipes. There’s one great way to reheat a rotisserie chicken.

What you’ll need:

Aluminum foil.

Baking sheet.

Meat thermometer (I prefer digital ones as the read-out is faster.)

Step by Step:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chicken (removed from packaging if it’s store bought) on to a foil lined baking sheet. Cover with foil (to retain moisture) and cook for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches about 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you prefer crispy skin, do not cover with foil.
