One of the problems of cooking poultry over the grill is that the outside often is done well before the center of the meat is cooked. Chicken rotisseries can help to solve this problem. The rotisserie can ensure the whole bird is cooked completely through without allowing the skin to burn.
Prepare chickens to cook by removing giblet packets from the body cavity and rinsing the bird, inside and out using cold water. Blot the skin dry using paper towels. Butter and salt can then be rubbed inside the cavity to bring out the flavor of the meat once it is cooked. Be sure to truss birds before placing over the heat. Use heatproof twine for tying drumsticks together and to ensure wings are tight against the body.
Spits of the rotisserie should have two sets of prongs used to secure the bird. Some larger spits may have two sets of prongs allowing two chickens to be cooked simultaneously. Place one set of prongs onto the spit near the handle; add the bird the long way. Center the poultry on the rotisserie and force the prongs into each end of the bird to hold the meat in place.
Adjust the temperature of the grill to approximately 325 degrees. Turn the burner directly under the bird off for cooking. Turn on the motor and close the lid.
Birds will need to be basted approximately every 20 minutes while on the grill. Melted butter or olive oil mixed with seasonings including salt and pepper provide an effective basting solution. Without basting, the skin and meat can become dry.
The size of the bird as well as the amount of time the grill lid is left open will affect the overall cooking time. If possible, keep the lid closed to retain heat. A meat thermometer is the best way to determine if the poultry is done. Cook to an internal temperature of 180 degrees. Apply barbecue sauce (if desired) approximately 20 minutes before the meal is done.
Place the cooked bird on a platter. Allow to rest ten minutes before carving in order for the juices to reabsorb into the flesh. Clean all equipment thoroughly before they are put away.
Most people find grilling dinner a great way to prevent overloading the ac system during the summer. Use of chicken rotisseries allows cooking the poultry to perfection. Skin is crispy on the outside and meat is moist and juicy on the inside. These devices provide a great addition to the cook’s tools for a perfect backyard barbecue.
