How to cook Rotisserie Chicken on a gas grill with rotisserie attachment?
I have a three burner grill. The burners are left, right, and middle -- not front to back.
Should I cook the chicken over the middle burner (off) with the two outer burners on low?
Any suggestions would be great. What kind of time is necessary?
Answers:
ROTISSERIE GARLIC CHICKEN
1 chicken (3 lbs average)
1 tsp salt
10 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons salt
Sprinkle the inside of a 3 lb chicken with 1 teaspoon salt. Peel the cloves of garlic. Place whole garlic cloves inside chicken and truss with skewers, tying legs together with cotton kitchen string. Fold wings under.
Melt butter and stir in fresh lemon juice, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. Brush chicken with butter mixture.
Place chicken on rotisserie with a pan positioned underneath to catch the drippings. Turn on rotisserie and roast chicken, basting often with butter mixture. Cook for 1 hour or until skin is glazed and crispy and juices run clear.

BOSTON ROTISSERIE STYLE CHICKEN
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 tsp paprika
seasoned salt
4 chicken breast halves with skin
garlic and onion powder (for sprinkling)
cracked black pepper
Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium sized saucepan and warm over low heat just enough to melt honey.
Arrange 4 chicken breast halves with the skin side up in a square baking dish or pan, sprayed with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt, garlic, onion powder and cracked black pepper. Bake uncovered at 400F about 35 to 40 minutes, basting chicken without turning, 3-4 times during baking or until nicely browned.
Remove chicken from oven and seal baking dish tightly in aluminum foil and allow to stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FETTUCCINI W/ WHITE
WINE CREAM
1 whole rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 sweet onion sliced thinly in 1 x 1/4 inch sections
1 bunch of asparagus, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces (trim ends)
8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic (I use refrigerated pre-chopped)
1 1/2 cups white wine, divided
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
ground pepper and salt to taste
1 cup heavy cream at room temperature
1 tablespoon flour mixed with 1/4 cup cold water to reduce lumps
1 tablespoon lemon juice
shredded parmesan cheese to taste
12 oz fettuccini noodles (may use a spinach noodle for added variety)
1. Remove meat from the chicken by tearing off bite size chunks. Place chicken in a bowl and set aside. Save skin and bones for another use.
2. Cook your noodles following packaging directions.
3. Melt butter and oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions until they become translucent and tender; stir in asparagus and garlic. Saute for a minute or two. Stir in mushrooms. Cook over until liquid is reduced. Add salt and pepper.
4. Deglaze the pan with in 1 cup white wine and the vinegar, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Boil liquid until it is reduced. Once it is evaporated, add the remaining 1/2 cup wine. Boil for 1-3 minutes to evaporate the alcohol (there will still be most of the liquid in the pan…do not reduce this liquid all the way). Reduce heat to medium-low.
5. When sauce is no longer boiling, slowly stir in cream. Simmer for two minutes. Add a little of the water/flour mixture for desired thickness (less for thinner sauce, more for thicker sauce).
6. Add the lemon juice and simmer for 1 to 3 minutes until desired consistency (note, you may thin the sauce with a little milk or water if it becomes to thick).
7. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the chicken.
8. Combine the sauce/chicken with the noodles. Stir well to coat.
Serve the pasta garnished generously with the parmesan cheese and a little pepper. You can also sprinkle a little tarragon on top for presentation.
This is the best way in order for the chicken to be cooked without burning or cooking too fast.
