Method

For the Rotisserie Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your rotisserie grill. Pat the half chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin where possible. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and place the lemon halves inside the cavity.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place the chicken on the rotisserie spit and secure it. Cook according to your grill's instructions, typically around 1 to 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
