National Rotisserie Chicken Day

National Rotisserie Chicken Day has been observed annually on June 2nd since 2015 to celebrate the slow-cooked Rotisserie chicken.

There's something about the golden skin of a properly prepared rotisserie chicken that makes your mouth water, isn't there? Although fried and grilled chicken are consumed on a daily basis, few people actually enjoy the delicacy that is rotisserie chicken, slowly roasted over a fire until cooked to a thick consistency. Chicken Rotisserie is available in stores around the world, and National Rotisserie Chicken Day celebrates them, their history and delicious taste.

History of National Rotisserie Chicken Day

While many people may think rotisserie chicken is a new age thing, it is not. The practice of cooking rotisserie chicken dates back to the 1300s. Many paintings from that time depict this roasting method. Of course, back then, turning a roast chicken had to be done by hand.

The invention of motor-driven buns changed the whole scenario, making roast chicken a mainstream mass dish. Shops and many supermarkets have been selling roasted chicken throughout the last century. The first mentions of chicken rotisserie date back to the 1930s.

On the other hand, National Rotisserie Chicken Day is a fairly new phenomenon. Boston Market restaurants were established on this day in April 2015. The day celebrates delicious and tender chicken, achieved through slow cooking.

In this day and age, with many busy households, this form of preliminary chicken processing has become more and more popular. Plus, the health benefits of rotisserie chicken are numerous and so its popularity is growing, and so is it today.

Since its founding in 2015, approximately 600 million rotisserie chickens are sold in the United States alone each year, and many of those are being sold by major stores like Costco and Walmart.
