Rotisserie Chicken Gratitude
I’d like to personally thank the following people or groups of people:
- The person who came up with the idea of selling cooked rotisserie chickens in grocery stores.
- Those who designed and built the roasting machines that cook dozens of rotisserie chickens at once.
- The company that designed and manufactures the plastic containers with domed lids to snugly hold the cooked rotisserie chickens.
- The company that designed and manufactures the little cardboard handle that fits around the plastic domed rotisserie chicken container making it easier to carry.
- The company that designed and manufactures the stainless steel cart that displays the rotisserie chickens and keeps them hot.
- I’d like to thank the person who came up with the idea to place that cart at the front of the store next the self check out lanes.
Those people have created a grab and go situation that makes me happy during a busy work week.

Sometime, when you have time to kill, you should try making this soup with dried hominy. I think it brings a more authentic experience to any Mexican dish than canned. Using dried means an overnight soak and longer cook time
