Recently I learned how to make rotisserie-style chicken without a rotisserie and realized how easy it is! I’ve decided that from here on out, it’s homemade rotisserie chicken for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade rotisserie chicken has less sodium, better taste, and it’s so easy to make. I’ve made five whole chickens five different ways: crock pot, oven, grill, Instant Pot, and Ninja Foodi\u2013I’m sharing links to recipes, seasonings, and thoughts about each method below.<\/p>\n\n\n

Is store bought rotisserie chicken healthy?<\/strong>

It’s healthier than other prepackaged foods, but by no means would I call it healthy. Each grocery store varies a bit, but on average you’re getting 20% of your daily sodium intake from one 3 oz. serving of a store bought rotisserie chicken. Many also contain sugars and artificial sugars.<\/p> <\/div>

What are the ingredients in store bought rotisserie chicken?<\/strong>

Costco Rotisserie Chicken, for example, lists these ingredients on their chickens:<\/strong>\u00a0whole chicken, water and seasonings (salt, sodium phosphate, modified food starch, potato dextrin, carrageenan, sugar, dextrose, spice extractives).<\/em> Sam’s Club Rotisserie Chicken contains<\/strong>\u00a0whole chicken, water, sodium phosphate, salt, yeast extract, maltodextrin, natural flavors, chicken fat and chicken broth, seasoning ingredients: corn flour, salt, spices (including paprika), garlic, sugar, citric acid, onion, cornstarch, paprika oleoresin (for color), and natural flavors.<\/em>Both of these popular rotisserie chickens have many more ingredients than any of the five recipes you’ll find here. I recommend making your own rotisserie chicken at home because it’s a set it and forget it process with most cooking methods. It takes an average of an hour to make a whole chicken and I think they are so much juicier when made at home.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
