This recipe has been tried and tested. I also used this recipe on our Thanksgiving turkey a couple of years ago for the entire family and the reviews were wonderful. One family member told me it was the best Turkey she had ever had. I have used it on Thanksgiving Turkeys ever since.
I love having a simple recipe like this on hand for busy weeks, especially when the husband is traveling. It makes preparation so easy. I whip up the seasoning and either toss it in the oven or the smoker and we have days' worth of rotisserie chicken to eat from. More recipes to come with how to use leftover rotisserie.
