Recipe Notes
- Equipment: Charcoal, Kettle-style grill with rotisserie attachment, Chimney starter, Rotisserie spit and motor, Wireless meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4–5 lbs), giblets removed
- 2–3 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue rub (homemade or store-bought)
- Spritz King Original (sweet and savory) grilling spray
- Optional: smoke-roasted potatoes and carrots, seasoned with ranch rub and Spritz King
Recipe Steps
1: Prep the Grill:
Light a chimney starter full of charcoal. When the coals are hot, set up your grill for indirect cooking and install the rotisserie ring.
2: Prepare the Chicken
Remove the giblets from the chicken and wipe out the inside cavity. Pat the outside dry with paper towels.
3: Season the Chicken
Lightly spritz the outside of the chicken with the Original Spritz King spray. This acts as a binder for your rub. Generously apply your barbecue rub all over the chicken.
4: Skewer and Monitor
Slide the rotisserie spit through the chicken, securing it in place. Insert a wireless thermometer to track internal temperature. Place the spit on the grill, attach the motor, and start the rotation. Cover the grill.
5: Spritz During Cooking
After about 45 minutes, begin spritzing the chicken with Spritz King every 15 minutes. This helps develop color and flavor while keeping the chicken moist.
6: Maintain the Fire
Add more charcoal about an hour into the cook to maintain a consistent heat.
7: Check for Doneness
Continue cooking until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast. Total cook time is approximately 1.5 hours.
8: Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before carving. Serve with your favorite sides. For a full meal, try smoke-roasting potatoes and carrots—spritzed with Spritz King for extra flavor.
