Rotisserie Chicken

Just my opinion - the egg is ideal for a rotisserie. I’ve been thinking about it quite a while, but decided to make the jump a few days ago. Thanks to @Toxarch I made the move - right price, wrong price - I don’t care.
4.5 pound chicken, rubbed with Dizzy Pig Wonder Bird, about 90 minutes at 325...OMG - that is some fine, fine eating!
Hardest part is getting the bird tied up tight - I used extra fork/clamps from an old gasser rotisserie to hold the chicken in place.

@OhioEgger. Thanks! I read through it - perfect for roasting, but on a rotisserie those legs would be flipping around as it turns. I had them tied to the tines on the spit forks.Maryland, 1 LBGE

This might be the first cook I've seen on one of these things that's making me think about grabbing a rotisserie set. Damn that looks good."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

@JohnInCarolina Beware - strong tendency to overeat! I already have my next one planned...a slather of olive oil, garlic, basil, lemon zest and kosher salt. To be followed by a Greek style...Maryland, 1 LBGE

I etched a couple of marks on the rod where the center and edge of the Egg is when all set up. Helps me know it will fit and be centered...

@smbishop That’s a great tip! I had the chicken all tied-up and ready to go - walked out to the egg and found I was way off center (far left) - had to redo some of my work.Maryland, 1 LBGE

@smbishop was the salad all you hoped it would be?Maryland, 1 LBGE

My wife loved it, I thought it was o.k. Not a fan of Miracle Whip.. I bet it is better today, cold, served as a sandwich!JohnEggGio said:@smbishop was the salad all you hoped it would be?Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories. -
Posting this for my future reference... Rotisserie chicken #2: coated with a slather of olive oil, garlic, basil, lemon zest, kosher salt and black pepper. 2 hours at a little under 300. Applewood. Quite good, but fell short of #1

Hey which rotisserie kit is this? Does the lid close?

Joetisserie - since it is wedge shaped, the lid does close, although mine is not real snug, but it is adequately tight.Maryland, 1 LBGE

I've spatchcocked, beer canned. Very happy with both methods. But, wow, that is a beautiful looking yardbird. Congrats.XL and Medium. Dallas, Texas.
