Rotisserie Chicken in the Crockpot

Rotisserie Chicken in the Crockpot

Prep Time: 10 minutes
... Cook Time: 4 - 6 hours

Yield: unknown

Karen shares this ingenious idea for making your own rotisserie style chicken with your crock pot. Simple and so very welcome during these too hot to cook days of Summer!

1. Wad up balls of aluminum foil and cover the bottom of the crock pot.

2. Wash and season your chicken. I used BBQ seasoning.

3. Bake on low until the chicken is done. I sort of lost track of how long mine baked, but if you can simply pull a leg off easily, it's done usually.

*FOUND at Momspantrykitchen. Mom's note: I would suggest about 4 hours on high, or 6 on low for a 3-5 lb chicken.

Dollar Store Ranch Chicken Recipe

I'm sorry I do not know where I got this recipe from, or I would give credit to that person. I do know that it is yummy if you like food with a little kick to it. I made it as a freezer meal, so we have had it a few times now. I love this dish!

Dollar Store Ranch Chicken

8 ozs. cooked macaroni (I used 16 oz to make it go farther and a little less then 2 lbs of chicken)
1 to 2 lbs of shreded cooked chicken
1/2 cup hot sauce (I used Frank's because it was on sale)
1 can evaporated milk (12 oz can)
6 oz. shredded cheese - your choice
1 packet of ranch dressing mix (I used my own homemade mix)

1. Preheat oven to 350f

2. Mix hot sauce, evaporated milk, dry ranch dressing together in a bowl.

3. Add macaroni, chicken and cheese.

4. Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray. Pour all ingredients in.

5. Bake for 15-20 min. until warm and the cheese is melted.

I separated mine into 3 separate casserole dishes for baking. This made the perfect size portions for my family and so I could have one and freeze two. It was a real hit with the hubby!
