"This is a great easy recipe that your family will love. It's the perfect main dish and serves well  with bake potato and asparagus ."

Ingredients

• 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1/4 tablespoon ground black pepper

 

Directions

1. Season the inside of the chicken with a pinch of salt. Place the chicken onto a rotisserie and set the grill on high. Cook for 10 minutes.
2. During that time, quickly mix together the butter, 1 tablespoon of salt, paprika and pepper. Turn the grill down to medium and baste the chicken with the butter mixture.

3. Remove from the rotisserie and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.

Wicker Wonder Restore

I discovered this great chair at a yard sale a year ago and this winter it took a serious beating along with my cash flow. I decided to restore instead of buying a new chair. Restoring this old weathered wicker chair was fun and simple. I first started out by hand sanding the old paint off, once that was completed I then water hosed the chair down, clearing off the old paint residue. I let the chair air dry over night because water tends to soften the wicker. The next day the chair was ready for a good dressing of Gloss color Kona Brown  by Rust-Oleum Painters Touch.
