Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, about 4-5 lbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling.
- Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the melted butter all over the chicken, then season it evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Optional: sear the Chicken: Place the chicken on the center grill grate for a quick sear, about 3-4 minutes per side, to lock in the juices.
- Rotisserie Cooking: Move the chicken to the optional rotisserie attachment and roast over indirect heat, rotating continuously, until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the meat remains moist and flavorful. Carve and serve immediately.
Tips
- Butter Instead of Olive Oil: Use butter for grilling as it adds a richer flavor to the chicken.
- Temperature Tip: Remove the chicken from the grill when the internal temperature is 15°F below your desired doneness, as it will continue to cook after being removed from the heat.
- Alternative Seasonings: Try these delicious variations for different flavors:
- Lemon Herb: Lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- Spicy Cajun: Cajun seasoning blend.
- Honey Mustard: Honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Asian Inspired: Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
- Mediterranean: Oregano, basil, garlic, and olive oil.
