⌚️ Step-by-Step: Oven Rotisserie Chicken

1. Prep the Chicken
Pat dry, season generously, and tie the legs together with twine.

2. Set Up Your Rotisserie
Place your chicken on the spit rod and secure with forks or clamps. Mount it inside your oven using the ROTO-Q 360™ or similar device that fits on a standard rack.

3. Add a Drip Tray
Position a tray underneath the chicken to catch drippings and keep your oven clean.

4. Cook Low and Slow
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 60–75 minutes, or until internal temp hits 165°F.

5. Let It Rest
Remove from heat and let it rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.

📊 Pro Tips for Perfect Rotisserie Chicken:

  • Use dry rub the night before for deeper flavor
  • Don’t skip the drip tray — you can even use the drippings for gravy!
  • Want extra crispy skin? Crank the oven to 450°F for the last 10 minutes.
