27 Reviews of Fake Rotisserie Chicken

Wonderful. Perfectly wonderful. I have made whole chickens in my crockpot before, and they taste great, but this is so much better. I think it is because the bird doesn't "stew" in its own juices since it is raised up by the foil. Before, the meat would fall off the bone, and the bones would actually break apart making taking it out of the pot a bit of a challange. But with this recipe, it held together, and I was able to CUT the meat! It was like thanksgiving! I placed the onion in the cavity, and also put some slices under the skin, and for spices I used rosemary, tarragon, paprika and garlic salt. It was perfect!!! Thanks so much for sharing! BTW, my mom was visiting last night when we had this, she had never thought of cooking chicken this way. She was talking this morning about how she could cook 2 birds in her huge crockpot this way and freeze one of them. You made her a believer too!

I liked this recipe a lot. I was cooking chicken to use in another recipe and had to leave the house. I cooked a 4 lb. chicken excactly 8 hours and the meat was tender and moist. I actually believe that if I were just going to serve the chicken, it could come out in 7 hours. I did not use the soy sauce, but flavored with the lemon and onions and rosemary. A keeper to be put in my T&T cookbook! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I wrap several smallish Red Bliss potatoes in foil and put them in the bottom of the pot in place of the plain aluminum balls; the chicken and potatoes are then perfectly done at the same time. Also, it's important to put the chicken in BREAST SIDE DOWN so the breast is self-basted. I find it comes out better cooked on High for 4 hours - the skin crisps up more, and the whole thing seems to be tastier.

This is truly wonderful. I used sage, rosemary, garlic powder and even a little lemon pepper and it really did taste like rotisserie chicken. I also used a little soy sauce like you recommended and it was so tasty. One of the best things about this dish is all the delicious broth left over that you can use for soups. My husband came home from work and when he came in the house his first word was "yum" due to the wonderful smell coming from the crockpot. Thanks for posting CCLady!

This was unbelievable!!! I couldn't believe how much it tasted like the rotisserie chicken I buy at a little local market my town!!! I didn't use an onion, (not very fond of onions lately) and I used paprika to help with the coloring. Nice tip with the soy sauce. I do that often myself. I don't use my crockpot often but will now with this recipe! THANKS!!!

I do this exact same thing. The only difference is that I put the chicken under the broiler to crisp the skin just before serving. Also, I do add a bit of garlic powder.

10 stars for sure. I throw the chicken in the crockpot on day one. Pick the bones clean and use the leftover chicken for day two's meal and boil the carcass with veggies and herbs for a wonderful broth to use in something else. I really feel like I "use" that chicken up. Flavor, texture, ease and versatility make this a staple recipe in our home. Thank you!

This made a delicious and easy chicken dinner. I don't think it truly compares to a rotisserie chicken in texture but it did hold its shape well enough to be sliced at the table. I used only onion because I am cooking for fussy teenage boys who are suspicious of anything "green" but it was still very tasty. No leftovers!!

Very tasty. Not ~quite~ what I was expecting (it didn't get very brown) but it was enjoyed by my family, and the taste and consistency was similar to rotisseried chicken. I will make this again for sure.

I have never made a chicken in the pot before. Mine turned out great. I think I out a little to much spices on though..lol..It was nice and juicy and the meat fell right off the bones.
