Rotisserie Chicken
Description
The Rotisserie Chicken recipe prepares a whole butterflied chicken rubbed with olive oil and a blend of savory spices including garlic and onion powder, paprika, rosemary, and cayenne pepper for subtle heat. Cooking on a rotisserie spit over a grill heated to around 300°F with added cherry wood smoke allows for even roasting, crisp skin, and juicy meat throughout. The slow turning exposes the bird evenly to heat and smoke, producing tender, flavorful results. This preparation highlights the balance of simple seasoning and the rotisserie technique to enhance the chicken's natural flavors through gentle, consistent cooking.
The finished chicken offers a crispy, well-seasoned crust with a tender interior that can be served sliced for meals or used in sandwiches. The smoky aroma adds complexity without overpowering the seasoning blend.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken butterflied, large, for roasting
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt or sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika sweet
- 1/2 tsp rosemary ground
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Rub the chicken with oil then sprinkle with the seasoning all over and pat down to make them stick. Set the chicken aside while you are preparing the rotisserie.
- Preheat the grill to about 300F at the spit level. Add some cherry wood chunks or chips for smoke.
- Place the chicken on the rotisserie spit and secure with forks. Place the spit on the grill. Start the motor and close the lid. Roast for about 60-75 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
