Learn how to make quick and easy rotisserie-style chicken right in your oven — juicy, golden, and seasoned with smoky spices for that classic rotisserie flavor.
I teach a meal-making class in my hometown. People who come to my class are from different walks of life. Many just enjoy making food and appreciate the community it brings. Others are genuinely wanting to learn and get a better grasp on being able to put together a meal for their family. There are those who are new to Canada. They may be unfamiliar with many of the ingredients they see in our grocery stores and want to learn how we use those foods. Some are looking for ways to connect and make friends, or want to work on their English speaking.
When creating recipes for these meals, my focus is first on using common, affordable ingredients. I want to show people how easy it can be to turn simple items into something delicious.
The idea for this quick and easy rotisserie-style chicken came from a gap I noticed—I couldn’t find the kind of recipe I was looking for. I wanted the flavour and tenderness of the store-bought rotisserie chickens, but in a version I could teach in class. Something people could recreate at home without much fuss.
The benefits? It costs less, and you know exactly what's going into it.
After this chicken is cooked, it is very versatile.

It would also make a good alternative to having turkey for thanksgiving, Christmas or other holidays.
