Prepare a brine by mixing 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup kosher salt, and 3/4 cup soy sauce in a pot of simmering hot water.

Dissolve the sugar and salt, then remove from heat and add enough ice to make about a gallon of liquid.

Cool the brine and place the chicken in a container, adding the brine liquid and refrigerate for 3 to 6 hours or overnight.

Remove the chicken from the brine and dry it thoroughly with paper towels.

Truss the chicken by tying the legs and wings with kitchen twine to ensure even cooking on the rotisserie.

Insert the rotisserie skewer into the chicken and secure it with forks.

Prepare a charcoal grill, lighting the charcoal in a chimney until white-hot, about 25 minutes.

Place the chicken on the rotisserie over the hot coals and turn on the rotisserie to cook.
