For selling me appliances, lol.
So we just bought a $10 rotisserie from a thrift store. The guy who sold it to us said 'Oh, it's great. Cook stuff in twenty minutes, then clean the thing for an hour.'
Ohhhhkayyyyyy.
It's raining today. In go the bone-in, skin-on Clucker Dusted chicken thighs.
We were afraid this wouldn't work. But it did. Skin got a lil' dark in spots, but otherwise really tasty!
We learned that it doesn't pay to crowd the carousel. And that it does pay to turn the chicken halfway through, so if you start skin-side out, turn it to skin-side in.
And oh, look. Couscous.

It's fun to watch. You can pretend the thing on top is radar.

Now if we can only find a whole chicken that's small enough for this contraption, we kin give it another test. At least I was able to find the manual online.

Thanks!
I was just thinking about that because our local supermarkets just seem to carry "supersized" chickens.

We did a smart thing (for once!) and saved the drippings. They separated nicely into a layer of Clucker-seasoned fat (used some to fry the morning eggs) and chicken 'goo' which I'll use as a pan sauce for the leftovers.
