Tish, We have tried many of the recipes you have posted, and have never been disappointed. We recently "splurged" by buying a rotisserie oven that is large enough to cook a large turkey (although we haven't tried that yet). Using the Herbes de Provence recipe (without the lavender, unfortunately), we gave this a spin with a 5-pound hen, and the results were marvelous! Thank you so much for sharing the great recipes, and best of luck with the PTL presidency. -
I am so glad I found this recipe! We use our George Forman Rotisserie a lot and this is by far the best chicken we have made to date. I used Troy's Herbes de Provence Recipe #18553 (minus the Rosemary) since I did not have the herb mixture premixed. This is a very well seasoned bird. You can taste the fabulous herbs and the lemon in every bite! Packed full of flavor and really a pretty bird. I just set the rotisserie to 70 minutes and let her spin... the bird sat in the rotisserie for about 45 minutes before I removed it. Excellent Chicken and I would recommend it to anyone who love the flavors of herbes de provence!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
