Presenting ...
Our first Farmers' Almanac Fridge recipe:

Rotisserie Chicken (made easy)

Crock Pot
Tin foil (to make 6 foil balls)
1 Whole chicken (cleaned)
Seasoning of choice (for flavor)
Lawry's seasoned salt

Roll tin foil pieces into balls -- dull side out -- (make them kind of flat and 1-2 inches thick -- just to keep chicken off the bottom of the crock pot out of the drippings.) Arrange them in the bottom of the crock pot (five around edge and one in the center).

Rub in seasoning and sprinkle Lawry's seasoned salt on chicken. Place seasoned chicken in the crock pot -- breast side down. This allows the juices to drip through the breast and not get dried out. Turn crock pot on high, cook on high for 5-6 hours until the internal temperature on the thigh or breast reaches 180 degrees. Use caution when removing from crock pot, as the chicken will be very tender and should fall apart upon removal.

Serve with potatoes and green beans or corn (or your own favorites).
