Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your rotisserie oven according to the manufacturer's instructions. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken half to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mix generously all over the chicken, including under the skin for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon Juice

    Drizzle the lemon juice over the seasoned chicken to enhance the flavor.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Place the chicken half on the rotisserie skewer and secure it properly. Cook according to the rotisserie oven's guidelines, typically around 1 to 1.5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the rotisserie and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Serve hot.
