Homemade Rotisserie Chicken

Cultural Context

Rotisserie chicken has its roots in French cooking, where it was traditionally cooked on a spit over an open flame. In the U.S., it has become a popular convenience food, often found in grocery stores. The homemade version allows for customization of spices and flavors, making it a favorite for family dinners and meal prep. Today, variations abound, with different spice blends and cooking methods being embraced worldwide, but the essence remains the same: a juicy, flavorful chicken.

1

Soak the whole chicken in salt water for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours, using 2 tablespoons of salt in enough water to cover the chicken.

2

After soaking, take the chicken out and set it on a rack over a pan to drain for about 30 minutes.

3

Use a kitchen towel or paper towels to dry the chicken as much as possible to ensure crispy skin when roasting.

4

Once dry, place the chicken back on the rack and tuck the wings behind the chicken.

5

Mix melted butter with various seasonings (not specified) and brush the mixture all over the chicken, including the back.

6

Optionally tie the legs together with kitchen twine for a nicer roast.

7

Place the chicken in the oven to roast for around 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken.

8

Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting into it.
