Christmas Notebook

I made the rotisserie-style chicken in the crock pot for supper today. Instead of using a whole chicken, I used three boneless, skinless chicken breasts and six boneless, skinless chicken thighs. The seasoning is delicious. DH and DD both liked it, so we’ll be having this again.

Wish you could smell this delicious chicken.

The original recipe called for the following seasonings. My changes are in brackets.

2 tsp. kosher salt [I used 1 teaspoon of salt. Next time, I'll use 1/2 teaspoon.]
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. onion powder [I used 1 T. dry onion flakes.]
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. Italian seasoning [You can substitute 1/2 tsp. basil and 1/2 tsp. oregano.]
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. black pepper [I used 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper.]
pinch of chili pepper [I left this out.]
4 whole garlic cloves [I used 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.]
1 yellow onion, quartered [Left it out, as DH is allergic to fresh onion, but it would be delicious on the chicken.]

As you can see, I didn’t exactly follow the recipe. But, hey, that’s the fun of cooking. Leave this out, add that. See what happens.

I placed the chicken in a crock pot sprayed with cooking spray, then sprinkled the spices over the top. The chicken cooked on high for four hours. Very easy!
