National Rotisserie Chicken Day

Today is a day that chicken lovers around the globe can unite around. National Rotisserie Chicken day.


According to nationaldaycalendar.com, "Boston Market Restaurants founded National Rotisserie Chicken Day in April of 2015 to celebrate the delicious and tender flavor achieved through slow-cooked rotisserie chicken.


In May of 2015, the Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed the day to be observed on June 2nd, annually."


In honor of today, here are a few ways you can pay homage:

📍Pick up some rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store to celebrate! It is perfect for lunch or dinner.

📍Try this recipe: PERUVIAN CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 whole chicken (4 lbs./1.8 kg or smaller)

  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil

  •  Juice from ½ small lime

  • 2 tsp (10 mL) sugar

  • 1½ tsp (7 mL) ground cumin

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground paprika

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground oregano

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt

  • ½ tsp (2 mL) black pepper

  • 4   garlic cloves, pressed


DIRECTIONS


  1. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Combine the remaining chicken ingredients in a small bowl and coat the chicken with the mixture.

  2. Tie the legs together with a 12" (30-cm) piece of cooking twine. Tie the wings against the breasts with a 24" (61-cm) piece of twine. Insert the Deluxe Air Fryer spit though the legs where they are tied together and through the cavity, centering the bird on the spit. Insert the forks securely into the chicken and tighten the screws.

  3. Turn the wheel to select the ROTISSERIE setting; press the wheel to select. Turn the wheel to adjust the time to 45 minutes. Press the wheel to start. When the timer is up, use the retrieval tool to remove the spit.* Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), adding more time, if needed.
