Watching these birds literally turn from that plain, awful beige color to these beautifully roasted, juice-dripping perfection, is such a treat!
We recently bought a new BBQ that contains a rotisserie option. When I first made this recipe, I had no clue what I was doing. But after some trial and error, voila I had 2 delicious birds cooking on the BBQ. It took about a hour and a half to get the chicken done. I used a dry rub on 2 organic chickens from Costco. They were delicious. I have to admit, you can probably achieve the same results (i.e. taste) using the oven, but isn't this cool? Imagine having guests over and you're doing your thing in the backyard...roasting up some goodness.
I've attached a video on how to go about putting the rotisserie together. If you've never done it, I highly suggest you watch this video or another video. Here are some must-dos:
- Tie the chicken with kitchen twine or you'll lose meat
- Place a dish on the grill to collect the juices otherwise you'll make a mess of your BBQ.
- Make sure to follow the instructions on how to properly place your rotisserie rod on your BBQ
- Turn on the far left and far right burners. (for extra fun, add smoking chips, like Hickory or Mesquite)
The video shows using 4 forks for 2 chickens. I only have 2 and as you can tell from the picture, I squeezed both chickens together.
Hope you give it a try...good luck!
