Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Chicken 4 lbs. max
  • 3 tbsp. All Purpose BBQ Rub
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp. Baking Powder optional
  • Butcher's Twine as needed

Instructions

  • Remove your chicken from the packaging and pat dry with a paper towel to remove the moisture. Leave uncovered overnight in the fridge or add the baking powder to your dry rub and let it sit for a few hours in the fridge to soak up the moisture so the skin gets nice and crispy. Coat the whole chicken (top/bottom and under skin if desired) with the BBQ seasoning listed or of your choice.
  • Follow the video guide above to help you tie your chicken so the wings and legs are secure before adding to the spit.
  • Secure your chicken to the spit by placing the spit through the cavity of the chicken and use a bowl (pictured above) to help you balance and center the chicken's weight over the spit while attaching the forks. Tighten and set it aside.
  • Preheat your grill to medium heat (450 F range) and set your rotisserie motor to medium speed. Cook your chicken roughly 1.5 hours or so. It should reach a final internal temperature of 165 F.
  • Remove the chicken carefully off the spit and tent with foil for 10-15 minutes before removing the twine and slicing the chicken into servable pieces.
