"I keep coming back to this recipe. McCormicks rotisserie seasoning is the best one to use. This recipe produces a chicken with crispy skin and moist meat. Timing depends upon how big a chicken you use."

I made this as instructed except for using balls of foil to place the chicken on since I did not have a V rack. It turned out very moist and tasty!!
