Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken will become a regular on your weeknight dinner plan. So tender, so juicy, and so easy. Made at home in your slow cooker, you can serve this one as a hearty main course. Or use the meat for countless easy dinner options.

Why Do We Love Rotisserie Chicken?

I swear I can smell rotisserie chicken cooking from a mile away. Running a morning errand at a store that’s even anywhere near a grocery store and I’m a gonner. They fire up those rotisserie cookers early in the morning, so that the aromas wafting through the air will magically lure us into the store. And they do!

They’re incredibly flavorful, incredibly addictive, and an incredibly easy dinner option.

I find some of the grocery store rotisserie chickens to be a little on the small side and sometimes a bit peculiar in how they’re cooked. Not always.

And of course Costco is the king of rotisserie chicken. Big meaty beautiful chickens for $4.99. You simply have to grab one every time you’re in Costco. I recently read an article that Costco looses money on those chickens. I don’t doubt that a bit, but they’re in the back of the store and I always grab a couple of impulse items on the way to the checkout, so I’m sure their financial situation remains profitable. 🙂

But what if you arrived home to that same tempting aroma, wafting from your very own kitchen. And you didn’t even have to go through self checkout on your way home. Or purchase a rotisserie machine.

So let’s talk about making a rotisserie chicken at home. In the crock pot.

Ways to Use Left Over Rotisserie Chicken

One of the best things about a rotisserie chicken is the fact that it can be used to make many easy meals. Here are some ideas.

Rotisserie Chicken In The Slow Cooker

I read about this recipe on Saturday and it was in my crockpot on Monday. It’s delicious! And isn’t it always a treat to come home from work to a house smelling like savory comfort.

The spices in this recipe are an incredible combination. And it’s almost as easy as grabbing a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. And of course tastier.

After seasoning, the chicken is placed in the crockpot on a bed of sliced onions. Once cooked, I suggest that you take a bite of onion before serving. As you can tell, they were so good they ended up as a side dish with the meal.

This chicken will be a frequent visitor to our dinner table.
