These two came from the following website's group discussion:

Fake Rotisserie
I found this because a month ago I bought a couple whole chickens dirt cheap at Fresh & Easy but never figured out what to do with them. The expiration was already up on them so I needed something fast. The rotisserie recipe I found on this site may well be the easiest I've ever done. Here's what I did:
I took my frozen chicken and thawed it out under some hot water. Then I pulled its legs apart and stuffed the inside with a sliced lemon. After that I rubbed it with Lowry's Seasoned Salt. Preparation: DONE.
I took some foiled and crumbled up around five foil balls and placed them at the bottom of my slow cooker. I took my chicken, flipped it upside down on the balls, and let it cook for around 8 hours.
It was OK. Some of it had a very lemony taste, but the seasoned salt did little for it and it seemed to need even more salt than I put on it. I think the biggest issue may have been that when I rubbed the salt on it the coating fell off during the cooking, and for some reason it didn't have much of a chance to go into the meat. This may have been helped if I put some of this salt inside the chicken along with the lemons, but who knows.
Because of how tender the chicken was (it was falling apart as we tried to lift it out of the cooker) my girlfriend de-boned it and we had burritos with the chicken and some cilantro. It was good, but I'm not sure how eager I am to do this one again.
I have no pictures of this because it was really a spur-of-the-moment thing and I forgot to do it. Oops!
Chicken Taco Filling
Another easy one that can be done with shit your probably already have in your cabinet. Just take a couple chicken breasts (I used three because the ones I bought were fairly small), a can of chicken broth, and some taco seasoning, and dump them all into the slow cooker and cook for six hours. It's cooking right now as I type this, so I have no idea how well it's going to turn out. I'll probably be eating this alone tonight because I actually like the cheap crunchy taco shells and my girlfriend hates them. Plus she's going out with some friends tonight to eat professionally made tacos, so this is a solo act.
Six hours later I forgot to shred the meat, so I ripped it up as much as I could with two forks and let it sit for another half hour. When I was finished I made two tacos with those yellow store shells. They turned out delicious. Because of drowning in the broth, they were sloppy as well, but after eating the second one I kept craving more. This is a very simple and very delicious recipe that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
