I have a new bbq. How do you cook on a spit on the bbq?

Question

I want to cook a whole chicken. I don't know how long it will take. I don't know what the temp I should get the bbq to first and then keep, etc. Do you have to baste?

Answer 1

If you have a thermostat on the grill, set it at about 275 - 300 degrees. Rotate the chicken often - every 10 minutes or so.

Baste with BBQ sauce in the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Total cook time depends on chicken size, but generally, an hour.
