Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated.

Insert the chicken onto the rotisserie spit, making sure it's securely fastened.

Set the oven to rotisserie mode and cook the chicken for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the rotisserie using a special tool.

Untie the string from the chicken and place it on a serving platter, optionally on a bed of roasted vegetables.
