Rotisserie chicken

Rotisserie chicken, made popular by grocery store delis and plastic totes, is essentially another way to roast chicken. The chicken is skewered and rotated over a flame, resulting in evenly cooked meat regardless of which part you prefer.

Though rotisserie chicken is most commonly found in grocery stores or spinning slowly in public view in restaurants, you can make it at home if you have a grill with a rotisserie set—some grills include the rotisserie hardware, and you just have to set it up, which isn't too difficult if you have a screwdriver and about 10 minutes. Setting up the chicken on the rotisserie rod is more difficult. The chicken must be tightly wrapped around the rod's tines, or a wing or leg may come loose and dangle into the flame.
