Steps:
- Season the inside of the chicken with a pinch of salt. Place the chicken onto a rotisserie and set the grill on high. Cook for 10 minutes.
- During that time, quickly mix together the butter, 1 tablespoon of salt, paprika and pepper. Turn the grill down to medium and baste the chicken with the butter mixture. Close the lid and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (83 degrees C) when taken in the thigh with a meat thermometer.
- Remove from the rotisserie and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.

GREEK GYRO MEAT - ROTISSERIE, GRILL OR OVEN
We love Greek food, but Gyros are a true hit in my house! Most of the Gyros that we buy out are dry and the sauce never really tastes like it should. This is a fabulous recipe for those of us who love a REAL Gyro. It is flavor packed and very versatile. If you do not have lamb, you can substitute with finely ground hamburger. It will not be as authentic as the lamb Gyro, but the spices and seasonings used in this recipe will get you to where you are going! I serve this with recipe #296173. You can also wrap these up in foil and take along to a picnic or outing. UPDATE 07/25/08: I was given this recipe from a neighbor who used to live in our neighborhood and made this meat on his BBQ rotisserie. I had no idea it was an Alton Brown recipe until now. Please know this recipe was not posted in malice.

Steps:
- Process the onion in a food processor for 10 to 15 seconds and turn out into the center of a tea towel. Gather up the ends of the towel and squeeze until almost all of the juice is removed. Discard juice.
- Return the onion to the food processor and add the lamb, garlic, marjoram, rosemary, salt, and pepper and process until it is a fine paste, approximately 1 minute. Stop the processor as needed to scrape down sides of bowl.
- To cook in the oven as a meatloaf, proceed as follows:.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place the mixture into a loaf pan, making sure to press into the sides of the pan. Place the loaf pan into a water bath and bake for 60 to 75 minutes or until the mixture reaches 165 to 170 degrees F. Remove from the oven and drain off any fat. Place the loaf pan on a cooling rack and place a brick wrapped in aluminum foil directly on the surface of the meat and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F. Slice and serve on warm pita bread with recipe #296173 sauce, chopped onion, tomatoes and shredded lettuce.
- To cook on a Kitchen or BBQ Grill Rotisserie, proceed as follows:.
- Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place on top of 2 overlapping pieces of plastic wrap that are at least 18 inches long. Roll the mixture in the plastic wrap tightly, making sure to remove any air pockets. Once the meat is completely rolled in the wrap, twist the ends of the plastic wrap until the surface of the wrap is tight. Store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight, to allow the mixture to firm up.
- Preheat the grill to high. (Follow your Kitchen Rotisserie manual for time and temperature.).
- Place the meat onto the rotisserie skewer. Place a double-thick piece of aluminum foil folded into a tray directly under the meat to catch any drippings. Cook on high for 15 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium and continue to cook for another 20 to 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F. Turn off the heat and allow to continue to spin for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees.
- Slice and serve on warm pita bread with recipe #296173 sauce, chopped onion, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.

ROTISSERIE ROAST BEEF
Using the rotisserie for this recipe not only gives you flavorful beef roast, but it also helps to keep the meat moist and tender. Eye of round is naturally a tough cut of meat, but the rotation of the rotisserie helps baste the roast as it cooks. I recommend using a meat slicer to cut this, and you'll have the best roast beef sandwich you've ever tried.

Steps:
- Preheat grill for medium-high heat. We will be cooking this roast indirectly, so set up your grill accordingly.
- Combine the salt, black pepper, onion powder, and granulated garlic in a small bowl. Season roast liberally with mixture.
- You'll need to create a pilot hole through the center (lengthwise) of the roast. This will help guide the rotisserie rod through. Once you've made the pilot hole and have run the rod through the roast, secure the forks.
- Place the rod onto the rotisserie until on the grill and set the aluminum pan underneath. Fill the pan with hot water, close the lid, and cook the roast for 1 1/2 hours. Check ever so often to make sure the drip pan hasn't gone dry. Add more water if needed. The liquid makes a great jus or gravy once the roast is done.
- I recommend cooking until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F., between medium and medium-rare. Watch for shrinkage as the meat cooks, and adjust the forks if needed.
- Once the roast is cooked, remove from heat with rod and forks still intact. Heat resistant gloves work really well for this job. Place onto a clean wooden cutting board, loosely tent with aluminum foil, and let the meat rest for 20 minutes.
- Carefully loosen forks and remove the rod. Cut into thin slices and use however you wish. Serve topped with gravy and mashed potatoes, or use in sandwiches, salads, and wraps.
Tips for Using a Rotisserie on a BBQ Grill:
- Choose the Right Meat: Select meats that are suitable for rotisserie cooking, such as chicken, pork loin, and vegetables.
- Prepare the Meat: Truss the meat properly to ensure even cooking and prevent it from falling apart. Season the meat with your favorite herbs and spices to enhance its flavor.
- Set Up the Rotisserie: Attach the rotisserie spit to the motor and secure the meat onto the spit. Ensure the meat is balanced and centered to prevent wobbling.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill to a medium-high temperature (350-400°F) before placing the rotisserie.
- Monitor the Cooking Time: Cooking times will vary depending on the type of meat and its size. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level.
- Baste the Meat: Baste the meat periodically with a flavorful liquid, such as marinade, melted butter, or barbecue sauce, to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the Meat Rest: Once the meat is cooked through, remove it from the rotisserie and let it rest for a few minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
Conclusion:
Using a rotisserie on a BBQ grill is a fantastic way to achieve evenly cooked and succulent meats. By following these tips, you can ensure a successful and enjoyable rotisserie cooking experience. Experiment with different marinades, seasonings, and cooking times to create your own signature rotisserie dishes that will impress your family and friends. Enjoy the convenience and versatility of rotisserie cooking, and savor the delicious results!
