ROAST STICKY CHICKEN-ROTISSERIE STYLE
Ever wish you could get that restaurant-style rotisserie chicken at home? Well, with minimal preparation and about 5 hours' cooking time (great for the weekends!) you can! I don't bother to baste the bird, though some like to for the first hour. The pan juices always caramelize at the bottom, and the chicken will turn golden brown...fall-off-the-bone good!

KITTENCAL'S ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FOR THE GRILL (OR SMALL TURKEY)
This is the way I do my rotisserie chicken on my outdoor grill, and I most always do two or three whole chickens, you may use a larger roaster chicken in place of the fryers or even a small turkey but cooking time will need to be increased, I have stated to cook until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees, I most always remove slightly before that as the chicken/s will continue to cook after removing, I use seasoned salt but white salt will do just fine :)

KITTENCAL'S BETTER THAN TAKE-OUT! DELI-STYLE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
This is even better than the whole chickens that you purchase at the deli, I have made this many times on my indoor and outdoor rotisserie --- this is one recipe I use margarine the butter tends to burn when cooking, you could also use 1/2 cup oil if desired and omit the margarine, I find that it is best to use 1/4 cup of of each --- I strongly advise you to make two chickens you will be eating one chicken just yourself these are THAT delicious, I always make two sometimes even three! ---this also works well using a large 6-7 pound roasting chicken, or a smaller size turkey, make certain that your turkey is completely thawed before cooking, cooking time will need to be increased for a larger chicken or a small turkey ---another way I have done this chicken is to rub 2 teaspoons seasoned salt all over the chicken and sprinkle inside the cavity as well, place the chicken a shallow dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours, prepare the oil/margarine mixture as stated only omit the seasoned salt in it. You will love this! :)

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken or turkey: For the best results, choose a chicken or turkey that is between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger bird will not cook evenly on the grill.
- Prepare the bird: Rinse the chicken or turkey inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any giblets or excess fat.
- Season the bird: Generously season the bird inside and out with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a rub or marinade for extra flavor.
- Set up the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.
- Cook the bird: Place the bird on the grill and cook it for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to turn the bird every 20-30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Let the bird rest: Once the bird is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Rotisserie chicken or turkey is a delicious and easy way to cook a whole bird. By following these tips, you can ensure that your bird is cooked perfectly every time. Whether you are grilling a chicken for a weeknight dinner or a turkey for a holiday feast, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.
