Chicken on a Spit |
About this recipe
No! Don’t spit on the chicken; put the chicken on a spit. You crazy Canadians don’t know anything.
Instructions
Wash:
- a 6 lb. roasting chicken.
Pat dry with paper towel, and salt and pepper inside and out.
In a bowl, use a fork to combine:
- 1½ tbsp. olive oil,
- 1½ tbsp. butter,
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced),
- 1 tbsp. fresh sage,
- 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary,
- the juice from 1 fresh lemon.
Rub this concoction all over the chicken until it starts to giggle. Then put your bird on a spit and tie both legs and wings.
Place metal or foil baking dish directly below to catch drippings (this also prevents flare-ups). Barbecue at medium heat until thermometer reads 180°F (approx. 1½-2 hours).
