Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken, including inside the cavity.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon Juice

    Pour the lemon juice inside the cavity of the chicken for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken in a rotisserie cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Baste with BBQ Sauce

    During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the rotisserie and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
