This Walmart Pantry Staple Is My Secret Ingredient for Incredible Roast Chicken
During the pandemic, I discovered the convenience and deliciousness of make-ahead meals like roast chicken. Looking for seasoning options in my pantry, I stumbled upon a canister of Borsari Citrus Seasoned Salt from Walmart. I gave it a try and was amazed by the burst of flavor it added to my roast chicken. The infused butter and bits of lemon peel made the meat tender, bright, and balanced.
The taste of the chicken seasoned with Borsari Citrus Seasoned Salt brought back fond memories of visiting El Pollo Loco, a Mexican chain known for its citrus-marinated rotisserie chicken. Inspired by this, I started incorporating the seasoned roast chicken into our weekly taco nights.
How I Use Borsari Citrus Seasoned Salt
To season my roast chicken, I mix Borsari Citrus Seasoned Salt with softened butter and rub it all over the chicken, including underneath the skin. After baking at 425°F for about an hour, the chicken turns beautifully golden brown, with the seasoned salt creating a flavorful crust. This method ensures a crispy skin and moist, flavorful meat.
The Borsari Citrus Seasoned Salt contains sea salt flakes, dried garlic, basil, rosemary, and dried lemon peel. It's a one-stop solution for adding all the seasonings I want to the butter.
Ways To Use Up Roast Chicken Leftovers
Aside from enjoying roast chicken on its own or in tacos, I've discovered various ways to use up the leftovers. Firstly, I shred the remaining chicken meat off the bones and use the bones along with any leftover veggie scraps to make a homemade chicken broth.
The leftover meat is perfect for making chicken salad with diced apples, dried cranberries, and walnuts. We use it for quick sandwiches or wraps. Alternatively, we mix the chicken with store-bought green chile sauce to create an enchilada casserole that lasts us multiple meals. The versatility of roast chicken leftovers allows us to enjoy delicious meals throughout the week.
