Whole Chicken?

personally I've always liked oven baked better, crock pot is definitely juicier, but it has the wrong texture. As far as time goes that's a function of the size of the bird and wether it's stuffed or not. My personal way is to juice 1 large lemon and mix it with 1/2 cup oil and 1 pack of Italian dressing, stuff the lemon carcasses in the bird and rub the dressing into the skin, bake the bird at 350° for 90 minutes or until the breast meat reads 165°.

BJ's has great deals on them.
Shoppers is easier to get in and out. They do them on rotisseries right there in the store.
Perfect every time!
On the rare occasion I feel the need to roast my own chicken, I use the oven.

I grab one on my way out after shopping. I never feel like cooking after grocery shopping.

I do pretty much the same thing. Lemon, butter and various herbs and cook until it reachs 165 degrees.
I use the crockpot on chicken pieces, such as skinless breast.

Oven or grill
9o% of the time we throw it right on the grill rack stuffed with onion, garlic, pepper, and whatever seasoning we want that day
Use contessa's method for the oven. It turns out great

I've always heard that rotisserie birds were the expired whole chickens.
Thr unsold rotisserie birds become chicken salad. I don't want to know where the unsold chicken salad goes.

It amazes me how many people walk around afraid of the silliest things.
Why is that bad?
If Shopper's rotisserie chickens were bad for you, I'd have been dead a long time ago because I probably average 1 per week.

they usually have more rotisserie chickens than they have raw chickens

And I just saw yesterday on 'The Chew' that the crispy skin is NOT as bad for you as everyone thinks. It actually has more of the good fats than bad, more mono-unsaturated.
And then went on to talk about a sammich that replaces bacon with crispy chicken skin.... omg.

Thanks, I decided to bake it instead of using the crock pot. It is a 6 lb chicken. I am going to bake it at 350 for 2 hrs. Hope it is good! I am not much of a cook,so we will see...

You really need a thermometer, but after 1.5 hours stab it in the thigh joint. If the juice does not run clear, it ain't done.
