Rosemary Garlic Chicken on the Roti

[SixZeroFour]

Hi all,

Here's last nights dinner - a Lemon Rosemary Garlic Chicken on the rotisserie!

Below are the main ingredients almost set to go...



I like to pat dry the chicken with paper towels, then on a small warming rack let it air dry in the fridge for about an hour. Chill (dry) your chicken.



Next up I seasoned the cavity with fresh ground pepper, sea salt and a couple shakes of the Weber Roasted Garlic spice.



In a small plastic bowl add 1/3 cup of butter, some chopped garlic and about 3 sprigs worth of the rosemary then microwave until the butter is melted. Now get ready for an amazing smell to fill your kitchen when you open the door!



I added 2 lemon halves and some bay leaves then poured the hot mixture inside the chicken coating as much as possible.



I then made a second batch of the butter/garlic/rosemary and stuffed it all under the skin and over the breast of the chicken. You need to separate the skin from the meat a bit first in order to do this.



Sprinkled the outside with the Weber spice and then added the chicken onto the spit. You want as little movement as possible and for the wings etc to be closely wrapped to the bird. I used a couple silicon grilling bands along with the grocery store twine to keep it extra snug.



Time to get rocking! My Copper 22" OTG is on deck tonight. Man I love that color!





Time to get dizzy...





Up to temp and off the grill




And it's dinner time!



Thanks for looking!
