I found a Weber Kettle rotisserie on Craig’s List a while back for about $50. I decided to give a try with a couple of chicken. It was very windy in my area that day with a temp around 42 degrees. The Weber temp hung around 350 degrees with one chimney worth of lump charcoal, which was replenished after one hour. The total cooking time was around 2.5 hours and the chickens were done perfectly, juicy and falling off the bone.
I placed a whole lemon inside each chicken and ran the rotisserie through them and that acted as anchors and prevented the chicken from wiggling to the spit.
I also stabbed the lemons with a tip of a knife all over so the juice would keep basting the chicken on the inside. I bet an orange would’ve been good too-next time
The lemons were nicely cooked and the juice was a nice addition.
I basted the chicken with a mixture of EVOO, garlic, lemon juice and oregano during the last 30 min of cooking
The rotisserie and the grill have done a great job even though it was windy and cool. I think it was a very successful first run and great investment
