Crock Pot Rotisserie Chicken
Any meat eater loves a good rotisserie chicken. While they’re super convenient to pick up at the grocery store, store-bought chickens are pumped full of sugars, sodium, and other processed ingredients. Plus, they’re not always the freshest.
Making a rotisserie chicken at home can be just as convenient thanks to the Crock Pot. Plus, it’s better for you! Choose your favorite seasonings and cook it on low while you’re at work. It’s a zero-point food on Weight Watchers. Bonus: Use the leftovers in our chicken soup recipes!
