5 Delicious Rotisserie Recipes for the Arteflame Grill

Introduction

The rotisserie on the Arteflame grill allows you to achieve perfectly roasted, juicy meats with a delicious caramelized exterior. Whether you're cooking a whole chicken, a leg of lamb, or a pork loin, the slow, even cooking of the rotisserie method makes every dish extra tender and flavorful. Here are five irresistible rotisserie recipes to try, each showcasing a different meat or style of preparation.

Classic Rotisserie Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (4-5 lbs)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 lemons (halved)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Grill: Light the Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins and firewood. Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
2. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stuff the cavity with lemon halves and rosemary sprigs.
3. Truss and Skewer: Tie the chicken legs and wings close to the body using butcher’s twine to ensure even cooking. Skewer the chicken on the rotisserie spit.
4. Rotisserie Cooking: Place the spit on the Arteflame Rotisserie, ensuring the chicken rotates evenly over the heat. Roast for about 1.5-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Rest and Serve: Remove from the spit, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then carve and serve.

Tips:

• Add some root vegetables underneath the chicken to catch the drippings for extra flavor.
• Baste the chicken with its own juices every 30 minutes for a crispier skin.

Rotisserie Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Herbs

• 1 boneless leg of lamb (4-5 lbs)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon thyme (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Lamb: Rub the leg of lamb generously with the marinade. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. Set Up the Rotisserie: Skewer the lamb onto the rotisserie spit, securing it tightly with the forks. Place it on the Arteflame Rotisserie over medium heat.
4. Cook the Lamb: Allow the lamb to rotate and cook for 1.5-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain even cooking.
5. Rest and Slice: Remove the lamb from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

• Serve with a side of grilled vegetables, like asparagus or zucchini, cooked on the outer flat cooktop.

5. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork loin from the spit and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
