I made this for O is for October in the Photo Forum and my whole family is glad I did! The ingredients go together quickly, smell fantastic while baking and taste even better! This turned a simple rotisserie chicken into a special meal. The only change I made was to use smoked paprika since I had more of it than regular and it added a nice smoky touch. Great recipe - Thanks!

I love to cook, but don't have a lot of time to do it, since I work full time. I like to try a new recipe every Saturday, if time allows.
