Best Kittencals Rotisserie Chicken For The Grill Or Small Turkey Recipes
KITTENCAL'S BETTER THAN TAKE-OUT! DELI-STYLE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
This is even better than the whole chickens that you purchase at the deli, I have made this many times on my indoor and outdoor rotisserie --- this is one recipe I use margarine the butter tends to burn when cooking, you could also use 1/2 cup oil if desired and omit the margarine, I find that it is best to use 1/4 cup of of each --- I strongly advise you to make two chickens you will be eating one chicken just yourself these are THAT delicious, I always make two sometimes even three! ---this also works well using a large 6-7 pound roasting chicken, or a smaller size turkey, make certain that your turkey is completely thawed before cooking, cooking time will need to be increased for a larger chicken or a small turkey ---another way I have done this chicken is to rub 2 teaspoons seasoned salt all over the chicken and sprinkle inside the cavity as well, place the chicken a shallow dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours, prepare the oil/margarine mixture as stated only omit the seasoned salt in it. You will love this! :)

Steps:
- In a saucepan combine oil, margarine, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika and seasoned salt over medium-low heat, stirring until honey is melted; cool slightly.
- Wash chicken then dry with paper towels.
- Season the inside of the chicken cavity with seasoned salt (any amount desired).
- Poke holes all over the lemon then place inside the cavity.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the oil/margarine mixture liberally all over the outside of the chicken (save the remaining oil mixture to baste the chicken while cooking).
- Prepare the chicken for the spit by securing together with heavy string if needed.
- Place the chicken on rotisserie rod and secure tightly.
- Sprinkle with black pepper if desired.
- Cook at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the oil/butter mixture while the chicken is cooking (cooking time will vary depending on the size of your chicken or turkey).
- When the chicken has finished cooking, wrap completely in foil and let sit for about 20 minutes before serving (this is an important step to lock in the juices!).
- Delicious!

KITTENCAL'S CHICKEN CRESCENT ROLL CASSEROLE
This will also work great with turkey; if you do not have chicken breasts, then use any leftover cooked chicken. If desired you can fill the crescents just with the filling mixture and omit the soup, just brush with butter before baking. They are wonderful just stuffed with the filling! A few members have experienced a soggy bottom, so you might want to consider just drizzling half (or even a little less) of the soup mixture on top and a little around the sides of the crescents, then save the rest of the soup mixture for another time (this will help prevent a soggy bottom). You may use the jumbo crescent rolls and stuff with more chicken mixture :)

- Heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil).
- For the filling --- (make certain that the cream cheese and butter are very soft) in a bowl, mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder (if using).
- Add in the chopped chicken, onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined.
- Add in 2 tablespoons whipping cream or mayonnaise; mix to combine (add in a little more if the mixture seems too dry).
- Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste.

- Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end.
- Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish.
- Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole.
- Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don't have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired) and sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired.

KITTENCAL'S BEST BLASTED RAPID-ROAST WHOLE CHICKEN
Blasting with high heat will shrink the skin and seal in all the juices to create an extremely moist and tender chicken with lovely crispy skin - and it will be on your table in about an hour. This method will also work with a larger chicken, but cooking time will need to be increased. You may adjust all seasonings to taste. If you are not a lemon lover, then you may omit the lemon juice. You really can use whatever seasoning that you like for this. I like to use seasoned salt. Make certain to use a fork and poke holes all over in the lemon, then place it into the cavity of the chicken. Roast roast as stated. The chicken with be moist and have a faint lemon flavor.

Steps:
- Rinse the chicken inside and out well under cold water, then pat dry using a paper towel.
- In a small bowl mix the lemon juice with oil and melted butter until blended, then rub all over the chicken.
- Using clean hands rub the inside and outside of the chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne (you can season the chicken under the skin also if desired).
- Place the lemon/s inside the cavity.
- Place the chicken into a baking dish (you can place the chicken onto a small roasting rack if desired and you may want to add in a little water to the pan to prevent smoking).
- Using cotton string tie the legs together tightly.
- At this point you may cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours (not more than that or the acid in the lemon juice will start to "cook" the chicken).
- Set oven to 450 degrees F.
- Roast the chicken at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees and continue roasting for about 40 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches about 175 to 180 degrees F. about 1 hour or a little less).
- Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing (do not slice before that time or the juices will flow out!).
KITTENCAL'S PERFECT ROASTED WHOLE TURKEY (GREAT FOR BEGINNERS)
Here you will find easy step-by-step instructions that will result in the best juiciest turkey you will ever have! cooking the turkey breast-side down will create a tender juicy turkey without brining or using other methods --- if you are stuffing the turkey you will need approximately 8 cups of prepared stuffing for an 18-pound turkey --- the cooking time for this recipe is for an 18-pound stuffed turkey cooked at 325 degrees F but you have the option of stuffing or not --- my best advise for a beginner is to use a meat thermometer inserted in the breast area, this way you will be assured that your turkey is cooked to the proper temperature, you can cover the uncooked stuffed turkey with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight and just pop it in the oven the following mid-morning or whenever you are ready to cook the turkey --- make certain that you have lots of chicken broth handy for this recipe as you will most likely need to keep adding more into the pan while cooking --- see cooking times on the bottom for whole turkeys --- see my recipe#145064

- Set oven to 325 degrees F, convection oven heat set to 320 degrees F.
- Set oven rack to lowest position.
- Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity.
- Rinse the turkey well with cold water inside and out then pat dry with a paper towel.
- Place the turkey on a rack on a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl mix together the melted butter with oil (I also like to add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder with the oil/butter mixture if you are a garlic-lover then use it).
- Fill the inside cavity loosley with prepared stuffing (if you are not using stuffing then tie the legs together with cotton butchers twine).
- Using clean hands rub the outside of the turkey with the oil/butter/garlic mixture.
- Season the turkey all over with salt and lots fresh ground black pepper.
- If you are NOT stuffing the bird place breast-side down on the rack, if stuffing leave breast-side up.
- Place/tent a large piece of heavy foil over the turkey.
- Place the pan in the oven, then pour about 4-5 cups chicken broth in the pan.
- Keep basting the turkey about every 30-40 minutes with the pan juices on the bottom of the pan (removing the foil and re-tenting every time you baste).
- If you see the juices starting to evaporate then add in more broth to the pan about 2 cups at a time.
- After about 2-1/2 hours of cooking time remove the foil.
- Keep roasting (325 degrees F) until the internal thermometer reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
- The total cooking time for this 18-pound stuffed bird should be about 4 hours.
- Transfer the cooked turkey to a large serving platter, cover loosley with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving (DO NOT slice the turkey before 30 minutes or all juices will flow out of the bird!).
