We recently got a new gas grill & rotisserie.This was the first recipe we tried, and it was scrumptious!! The second time, I omitted the salt & added 1/2tsp. garlic powder, 1tsp. onion poweder and 1tsp. lemon pepper. To the melted butter, I added 1/2 cup lemon juice. Wonderful!! We will use this recipe many times this summer.

This recipe was so easy, my husband (who doesn't cook) was able to make this almost entirely by himself. He thought that salt, pepper, paprika and butter sounded too dram though, so he used lemon pepper, oregano and garlic too! This recipe is great as a blank canvas and you can add whatever flavors you like.

Was very good. I used two four pound chickens. I put a drip pan down and used the 2 outside burners plus the sear machine in our grill set up for our Rotisserie. I also tied the legs and wings together like other reviewers. My only complaint was it was a little dry but that was mostly our fault because we don't think we seared properly (first time using!!lol) It smells WONDERFUL cooking! Will definately try again. Thank you for the recipe!!

Absolutely loved this recipe. I used a 7lb chicken and took the advise of other reviewers and added 1 tsp of garlic powder and combined olive oil with the melted butter. I made sure I had a drip pan below the chicken and only used the outside burners. I also used wire to tie the bird securely and cooked it about 2 hours. Everything else I followed exactly as the other reviewers said. The skin came out cripy brown and the meat was so juicy it fell apart with a fork. I used a 9" cake pan for the drip pan and started out with about 1/2 of water to prevent any grease fire. During the 2 hours I basted frequently and had to add about 1 pint of water to refill the pan. This will be my recipe for rotisserie chicken for a long time. It is a make again in my house.

We just bought a rotisserie and needed to break it in before trying a whole pig on the 4th of July. This is a free standing one without a lid. Now we know we need to get or make a lid for this thing because a small chicken took FOREVER to make. Thank God we did Beer Butt chicken on the grill or our neighbors kids would have been starving. Be sure to tie your chicken's wings and legs together with string so they don't hang down. You want those to be secure. Also, to keep it moist stuff the cavity with cut up lemons. With regard to the recipe for basting sauce, it was good. I would double it and add garlic powder and some onion powder. Although, you could add just about any combination of spices that are to your liking. It really doesn't matter. What you have to have is patience and a good meat thermometer.

Yes, the recipe is fine but the method and instructions have a lot to be desired when cooking out of doors over fire , be it over or with charcoal or on a gas grill..., You Quickly Grill most cuts of beef over direct coals or heat. You Bar B Q most cuts of pork over low and very slow indirect heat (smoke). Brisket and tougher cuts of beef are best cooked low and slow as well. You do something called in-between with chicken and poultry called "ROASTING" Now if you are into eating carbon and having a black cloud emanate from your mouth and encircling your head from each bite, I suggest when "roasting" whole chicken or chicken pieces on the grill you employ the indirect method of cooking [roasting]. Indirect Method is having the fire banked on one or either side of the chicken or meat like Pork Steaks, Ribs, Rib racks and Tri Tip steaks etc. either on a rotisserie such as Prime Rib roast [In a basket not on skewers]or flat on the grill when using charcoal or briquettes. Important! Always have a drip pan under the chicken. This prevents flare ups and grease fires in the Bar B Q pit or Kettle. Always have a sufficient amount of liquid in the drip pan be it beer, apple juice, wine or even plain water. This adds humidity to the inside of the closed BBQ and also prevents grease fires. Concomitantly, it also will stop neighbor complaints those unexpected Code-3 visits from your local engine company of fire fighters. Rule of thumb is... “Never cook, BBQ or roa

This chicken turned out great! As others have pointed out, you have to tie the wings and legs up, but I learned that lesson a couple years back so luckily, I knew to do so. I added a 1/2 T of onion powder and garlic powder to the butter mixture. I also poured apple juice over and in the chicken before basting for the first time. The chicken was moist and full of flavor. Thanks!

I wouldn't change a thing in this simple recipe. Besides the outcome of a great tasting rotisserie chicken, this recipe has inspired me to look for an even larger rotisserie so I can cook more and more.

Excellent - Just make sure you put a foil pan under the chicken to catch the buttery drippings. The first time I made this is was pretty singed - but it was still tasty!

Wonderful! I attribute most of it to the excellent grilling skills of my husband. The skin was just crispy enough and the meat was moist. We put onions/garlic inside the cavity and then put a drip pan with some apple juice in it under the bird to catch everything. So delicious!

I have used this method to cook a couple of chickens now. I brined the chicken first so did not use the baste here but used everyone's suggestions on drip pan with beer...etc...BUT last night the drip pan liquid evaporated...caught fire and the bird caught fire!! ugh! We went out, bought a new chicken so this time I used the baste here and it was great! Did use less salt (and made sure we kept liquid in the drip pan!!!)

Sorry not to give 5 stars but everyone found this too salty. I'll try it again with half the salt and maybe olive oil instead of butter.

Easy and Delicious. Tastes better than take out chicken! My kids love this and ask for it every week!! Also works great for roasting the chicken on a can of beer in the oven.

OHHH MY!!!!!! This was GREAT! This was the first time I have used the rotisserie on the grill. After reading reviews I placed a pan under the chicken with apple juice in it. I cooked it on low temp with 2 of the 3 burners for 2.5 hours. When I took it off the grill, I covered it in foil and towels to keep the heat in and grilled my vegies in foil for 20 mins. It worked great! It allowed the chicken to settle, but yet kept it hot. This chicken was SO moist and tender! I did have to fill the juice in the pan one more time during the whole process. Use a pan you don't care about or a disposable because the cooking will destroy the pan! I also used a seasoned salt in place of the regular salt. We WILL be making this more!

On a grill You Need to put a foil pan under Chicken and add water to pan about a 1/2" or add (BEER works best 2-12oz cans) your Chicken will fall off the bone!!!!
