I did not grow up in the South but, I still like chicken on Sunday.  I also like rotisserie chicken.  The grille is about to drive me crazy.  Is the grille fixed?  Yes.  Why are you lightning it with a match?  Grille fixit guy returns.  Does the oven work?  No, and they can’t get the parts.  So yesterday I find out he never even showed the rotisserie parts to the grille fixit guy and a slot is rusted.  So Jim had to stand in the heat and rain and hold it as it periodically tried to work its way out.  

This recipe is from Bobby Dean and it is the most delicious rotisserie chicken you will ever taste.  The recipe is for baking.  I looked up rotisserie chicken on the Food Network app.  Bobby Flay said 35 minutes.  It took 45 minutes in our grille.  It was so delicious we ate the entire thing.

Ingredients:

1 T finely chopped fresh rosemary

1 t paprika

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 (3#) chicken, rinsed and patted dry

1 T EVOO

1 t salt

3/4 t freshly ground black pepper

1 lemon quartered

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Lightly spray a small roasting pan with cooking spray.  We could not preheat the grille as it would be too hot to mount the rod holding the chicken.
2. In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, paprika, and garlic.  Slide this mixture under the skin of the chicken, covering as much meat as possible.  
3. Rub the skin all over with the oil and season the chicken inside and out with the salt and pepper.  Stuff the lemon pieces inside the chicken’s cavity.
