Here’s one to add to your menu rotation; Quick and Easy Rotisserie Chicken Piccata dinner that literally takes you 3 minutes to prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ to 2 pounds chicken thighs with skin (8 thighs)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 3 Lemons, sliced in to ¼ inch wheels

Piccata Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Any Ronco Rotisserie
  • Multipurpose Rotisserie Basket

Directions

Chickenthighs

  1. Season both sides of chicken thighs with dried oregano, salt and pepper.
  2. Layer your Multipurpose Basket with lemon wheels, then top sliced lemons with chicken thighs.
  3. Close Multipurpose Basket and place on to rotisserie spit.
  4. Place basket into Showtime Rotisserie with the skin facing heating elements. Set function to sear for 15 minutes to crisp up the skin.
  5. After searing for 15 minutes, set to roast mode for additional 25-30 minutes.
  6. To make piccata sauce, place all ingredients into a metal bowl and set on top of rotisserie oven 5 minutes before timer goes off to melt butter. (If you don’t have a metal bowl, a small saucepan will do just fine- just don’t use plastic or glass. Also, putting all of the sauce ingredients into your Ronco Rotisserie Steamer basket works just fine!)IMG_8307
  7. Serve chicken with sauce and a few lemon slices. I like to put the sauce on the plate first and top with the chicken to preserve the nice, crispy skin.
