How to Make Herbed Rotisserie Chicken

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) using the broil or top heat setting.
  2. Remove giblets from chicken cavity. Rinse the cavity thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon dried herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently loosen the skin from the chicken breast, and smear half of the herb mixture under the skin. Rub the remaining mixture all over the chicken skin.
  4. Cut one lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the chicken cavity. Stuff the lemon halves inside the cavity.
  5. Tuck the wings behind the back and tie the legs together using kitchen twine.
  6. Place the chicken on your rotisserie rod (ensure it's properly secured) and place a drip pan below in your oven to catch drippings. Roast for 20 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue cooking for approximately 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
