Dateline: July 9, 2021 Rotisserie Chicken Indoors Because of The Rain

I so wanted to get out and grill this chicken....but Mother Nature was not having it.  July has been ridiculous in terms of the amount of rain that we have gotten.  The plants are mostly happy, but I am not of the same mind set.

I had a Cooks Venture chicken from Fresh Direct.  I love these chickens, they are slow grown, no hormones, and they are tasty.  What more could you ask for in a bird?

These chickens tend to be on the smaller side, about 3.5 - 4 pounds.  Perfect for us and with left overs for breakfast or lunch.

I was cooking just for me, as Bill was off doing good deeds up in The Bronx. So dinner was just salt and pepper on the chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and a salad.

It tasted as good as it looks too!

I have been working on a different cocktail, sort of a hybrid mojito and margarita.
