Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style
Rotisserie chicken seasoning makes the most flavorful whole chicken. Ever wish you could get that restaurant-style rotisserie chicken at home? With minimal preparation and about 5 hours of cooking time (great for the weekends), you can. I don't bother to baste the bird, though some like to for the first hour. The pan juices always caramelize at the bottom, and the chicken turns golden brown and fall-off-the-bone good!
