Rotisserie Chicken

I needed some rotisserie chicken for another recipe (baked Mac and Cheese with Buffalo chicken) so I got a couple 4 1/4 pound birds and put them in the grill with my rotisserie. I'm using this recipe for Roadside Chicken from TVWBB. I marinated the birds in the RS mix for about 2 hours before they went on the rotisserie on my Gold C. I made a foil pan to put under the chickens to catch the grease.

I preheated the grill and then turned all burners to their lowest setting. I put some apple and mesquite in a smoking wood box under the flavorizers. I'm not sure it made any difference.

I put some of the RS mix in the now empty Worcestershire sauce bottle and sprinkled it on the rotating birds about every 15 minutes during the cook.

The birds came out tasting pretty good. The skin was not crispy but I suppose I'd need direct heat for that.
