Happy New Year everyone!!! I hope your holiday season was a wonderful one!! Are you guys ready for the New Year? Do any of you make resolutions??
If you have been reading this blog for a little while you know by now I DON'T make resolutions. I do, however, make this homemade oven roasted rotisserie chicken and it's perfect for those of you looking to do some meal prepping this year.
If you want to make this a complete meal, serve it with these Skillet Garlic Green Beans, Spinach Apple and Pomegranate Salad, or Bacon Mashed Potatoes.
Why you will love this rotisserie chicken recipe:
- Oven roasted rotisserie chicken is tender and juicy with deliciously crispy skin.
- The recipe only requires basic seasonings, which you probably already have in your pantry. Just get a whole chicken and you're ready!
- Leftover rotisserie chicken makes the best meal prep and can be used in lots of other lunch and dinner recipes.
Ingredients for oven roasted rotisserie chicken:
Start with a few simple seasonings. You will need salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Then you just need a whole chicken (aim for 5lbs) and olive oil. Try to choose the chicken with the latest expiration date from the store, then use it within 1-2 days of buying.
How to make rotisserie chicken:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C).
Combine the seasonings: In a small bowl, mix the salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Then set aside.
Prep the chicken: Remove the giblets from chicken and rinse the whole chicken in cold water. Pat very dry with paper towels.
Season the chicken: Rub the chicken with olive oil, then rub the spice mixture over the entire chicken. Place in a baking dish, cast iron skillet, or rimmed baking sheet.
Roast in the oven: Bake for 80-90 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 165 degrees F and the juices run clear. Baste with juices 3 times during the cooking process for maximum juiciness.
Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This extra time helps the juices reabsorb into the meat so you get moist chicken.
Tips for making this chicken:
- To ensure maximum juiciness, baste the chickens often (at least 3 times) during the roasting time. But I will admit that I am not the best at remembering to do this and they still turn out delicious.
- If you want to cook the chicken more slowly, roast it at 300 degrees F for 3-3 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
- Use a quality meat thermometer to check the temperature of the thickest part of the chicken. This is the best way to ensure you don't overcook it.
FAQs:
Can I make this rotisserie chicken in the crockpot instead?
Yes! Just place the spice rubbed chicken into the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. The skin will not be crispy, just so you know, but the chicken meat is still tender and juicy!
Can I roast two chickens at the same time?
Yes, you can roast two chickens at the same time and it really doesn't take much longer! You may need to add some additional time. If roasting in different pans, you may also want to rotate the racks they are on halfway through the baking.
