Tuscan Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken
If you want tender and juicy chicken, there’s no better method of cooking than rotisserie chicken. The juices of the chicken automatically baste the chicken as the chicken turns.
Whole Chicken, cleaned and gizzards removed
2 tbsp virgin olive oil
Rub
2 tbsp dried rosemary
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp ground black pepper
Mix rub ingredients. Hand rub chicken with olive oil. Pat chicken with rub until completely covered. Assemble chicken on rotisserie spit and tie back legs and wings. Cook chicken with indirect heat, with BBQ covered. The cooking time will depend on the cooking temperature of the BBQ. At 350 degrees it will take about an 1 ½ hours. Lower temperatures will take longer, but the chicken will be juicer. Cook until chicken juices run clear and internal chicken temperature (in the thigh) reaches 170 degrees.
Beer Style: Lager with a bit of a malty flavor
Suggested Beer: Sam Adams Boston Lager
