Rotisserie Chicken
This rotisserie chicken recipe is made with a sauce made with molasses, soy sauce, ketchup, sherry, garlic, and other seasonings.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 roasting chicken, about 5 pounds
* salt and pepper
* 1/4 cup molasses
* 1/2 cup soy sauce
* 1/2 cup ketchup
* 1/4 cup sherry
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* dash ginger
PREPARATION:
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Arrange on rotisserie skewer and truss to keep legs and wings close to the body. Place chicken about 8 inches above coals. Place a drip pan under chicken to prevent flare-ups.
Allow chicken to cook for about 1 hour. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil or heat on grill. Brush sauce over chicken. Continue rotating over hot coals, brushing with the sauce every 10 or 15 minutes. Cook for about 1 hour longer, or until chicken is tender and cooked through.
Serves 4 to 6.

Hi I love chicken cooked that way....it depends on your tastes what you like?
We love taking the whole chicken and loosening the skin around the breast and legs
place small garlic cloves under the skin
rub the chicken with olive oil and fresh lemon juice
season the inside the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper
sprinkle with oregano and rosemary inside and outside
place on the rotisserie....let it cook until done....
hint it's best to season the chicken the night before.and refrigerate..then you just have to place on the grill or rotisserie
Chicken needs to really be well done so start it early so it has plenty time to roast . Good luck ....

Does it have to be rotisserie? Here's a whole chicken recipe, called "Engagement Chicken" from "Glamour" magazine. The seasoning would work well on any whole chicken. Just alter the cooking method.
1 whole chicken (approx. 3 lb.)
2 medium lemons
Fresh lemon juice (1/2 cup)
Kosher or sea salt
Ground black pepper
Place rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Wash chicken inside and out with cold water, remove the giblets, then let the chicken drain, cavity down, in a colander until it reaches room temp (about 15 minutes). Pat dry with paper towels. Pour lemon juice all over the chicken (inside and outside). Season with salt and pepper. Prick the whole lemons three times with a fork and place deep inside the cavity. (Tip: If lemons are hard, roll on countertop with your palm to get juices flowing.) Place the bird breast-side down on a rack in a roasting pan, lower heat to 350 degrees and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and turn it breast-side up (use wooden spoons!); return it to oven for 35 minutes more. Test for doneness—a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh should read 180 degrees, or juices should run clear when chicken is pricked with a fork. Continue baking if necessary. Let chicken cool for a few minutes before carving. Serve with juices.

Before baking a chicken, I salt and pepper it, rub garlic over and inside it, and will sometimes add paprika. I seldom use the rotisserie.

i like making a paste with olive oil, pressed garlic, salt, pepper, fresh rosemary, fresh oregano, lemon zest and a splash of liquid smoke. Then rub it in good with your hands and let it sit for about a half hour before you put it on the rotisserie.
