How to Make Kittencal's Rotisserie Chicken For The Grill Or Small Turkey
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Prepare the basting butter: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter or margarine, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Prepare the chicken: Wash two whole chickens (about 3-4 lbs each) inside and out with cold water and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Lightly salt the inside cavity of each chicken with 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Secure the chicken: Tie the legs and wings of each chicken together securely with cotton butcher's twine. Then, tie additional twine around the body of each chicken in two places to maintain its shape during cooking.
- Mount the chicken: Carefully thread each chicken onto the rotisserie spit, ensuring it's balanced and secure.
- Initial sear: Cook the chicken on high heat for 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat and baste: Reduce grill heat to medium. Using a basting brush, generously coat the chicken with the melted butter mixture.
- Slow roast: Close the grill lid and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting every 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C) when measured with a meat thermometer. Cooking time will vary slightly depending on the size and type of poultry.
- Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the rotisserie and place on a large plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
