Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
aluminum foil
3 1/2 pounds fryer chicken, cut up
salt
black pepper
paprika (optional)
directions
Tear off sheets of aluminum foil and roll them into loose balls (about 4 to 6 of them). Place in the bottom of the crock pot.
Place the chicken pieces on top of the foil (the foil keeps the chicken from resting in any juices that accumulate).
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the chicken tests done with a meat thermometer.
Do not add liquid to the crock pot or the skin will be soggy. Leaving it dry will make the skin crisp up a little.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Once cooked, take the chicken out and put it on a baking sheet and put under the broiler skin side up. Crisp up the skin and you'd swear it was rotisserie cooked chicken! Super tender. Just need that skin a bit more crispy.

Rotisserie chickens are so expensive at the supermarket but taste SO good. This is a great way to make them at home. Yes, they aren't quite real rotisserie chickens but you get very similar results, just without the really good skin that you get from the store. The meat is incredibly tender and the skin isn't soggy but it's just not quite as crisp. I sometimes add a little garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, chinese 5 spice, cumin, cayenne - or whatever I feel like that day. It's easy to change up. I've also basted it with a little honey when it's just about done cooking. You can also put spices under the skin. I've also done this with a whole chicken in my bigger crock pot.

Wonderful and easy. I added a little chicken broth to bottom of pot below foil line and used season salt instead of other spices. Cooked it for home twice then tried it out on visiting ministers at church..had to make it again that week because they enjoyed it so much. Thanks!
