Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Rotisserie
Preheat your rotisserie oven according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically to about 375°F (190°C).
- 2
Prepare the Chicken
Remove any giblets from inside the chicken and pat the outside dry with paper towels. This helps the skin get crispy.
- 3
Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary to create a seasoning paste. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin for maximum flavor.
- 4
Add Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken. This will help keep the chicken moist while it cooks.
Cooking
- 5
Secure the Chicken
Truss the legs of the chicken with kitchen twine and secure the wings close to the body if necessary to ensure even cooking.
- 6
Cook the Chicken
Place the chicken on the rotisserie spit and ensure it is balanced. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- 7
Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the rotisserie and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
