The key to making authentic rotisserie chicken is the dry rub: dried thyme, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. A little salt and pepper, too.
Brush a little olive oil all over the bird to help the dry rub adhere to the skin while cooking. Then
Use the dry rub generously, patting the chicken to make sure the rub sticks.
Next, I move the chicken into a roasting pan. This could be a glass baking dish, a heavy duty roaster, or even a cast iron skillet.
I bake my rotisserie chicken at 425 degrees for 70-80 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
After baking the chicken, you can devour it immediately or place it in a crock pot for a few hours to keep it warm for later.
Bon appetit!
This chicken came out really good, and it was absolutely delicious!
