More spun up chicken...

[hawgheaven]

I spun these birds on the Weber rotiss. The setup was a drip pan in the middle of the Weber 22.5", with RO briquets piled on both sides of the pan. I kept the temp at around 375, and spun them until the internal temp hit 170-ish. For those of you who have not spun poultry before, you must do so! Here ya' go...

First off, I sliced some lemon and lime wedges, and grabbed a few sprigs of rosemary, along with two onions. Birds need stuffed with things that will enhance their flavor...



The birds were rubbed down with EVVO, CBP and sea salt, and sat in the fridge for a few hours. They came out all happy, and got the lemon, lime, and rosemary stuffed where the sun don't shine...



I'm sure you noticed the onions in the first pic. The onions serve three purposes: to add flavor of course, to hold the stuffing in, and serve as a mechanical device to keep the chickens from flopping around while spinning...



A last minute decision was made at this point... I applied Mad Hunky rub and rubbed it in with a bit more EVOO. Usually, I'd do this at prep time, but this time I didn't. Go figure. Here they are, mounted on the spit and ready to rock...



I squirted the birds down with a mix of apple juice and worchy about every twenty minutes or so. Here they are, almost done...



My cute li'l helper telling me, "They're done Pop Pop!!"



And here they are, ready for the knife...



Sorry, there are no plated pix, but rest assured, it was really tender and moist, and served up with lots of love! Thanks for looking!!

Dang that looks incredible! Great job.
Never spun two birds at once. I see you kind of offset one from the other to but them up. Does that cause any issue with the balance?

No real balance issues... it actually helped with the balance.

Pics look fantastic!   I notice you didn't tie your birds, any problems with legs or thighs separating? Or do the onions help keep them together.  I always tie mine, might have to try this for sure.

Another great cook from the spin doctor himself...This gut taught me the proper way to use my rotisserie...Seems I had made a big mistake on my first try...
