  • 1 * 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
  • 1 * 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 * 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 * 1 tablespoon salt

Preparation

Step 1



Directions

1. Season the inside of the chicken with some of the seasoning blend. Tie the legs and wings with twine to prevent them over cooking. And the most important detail, don't cook directly over the flame. Cook with indirect heat according to the directions of your BBQ. On my 3 burner Weber, I turn off the middle burner that lies under the chicken. Place a pan of unseasoned liquid under the chicken to catch the fat and moist season the food. I recommend wine, apple juice, etc. Place the chicken onto a rotisserie and set the grill on high. Cook for 10 minutes.
2. During that time, quickly mix together the butter, 1 tablespoon of seasoning blend. Turn the grill down to medium and baste the chicken with the butter mixture. Close the lid and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (83 degrees C) when taken in the thigh with a meat thermometer.
3. Remove from the rotisserie and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.
