ROTISSERIE-STYLE CHICKEN

Rotisserie-Style Chicken image

My mother used to fix this rotisserie-style chicken when I lived at home, and we called it Church Chicken because Mom would put it in the oven Sunday morning before we left for church. When we got home, the aroma of the roasted chicken would hit us as we opened the door. -Brian Stevenson, Grand Rapids, Michigan
