With its ability to sear meat at over 1,000F and a flat griddle cooktop that ensures an even sear without burning, you can achieve a steakhouse-quality dish right in your backyard. This recipe guides you through the process of making a juicy, flavorful rotisserie butter chicken that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Fire up the grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill by lighting the fire and allowing it to heat up.
-
Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the cavity with salt and pepper, then stuff with the lemon halves.
-
Make the butter mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper.
-
Season the chicken: Brush the butter mixture all over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.
-
Attach to rotisserie: Secure the chicken on the rotisserie spit, making sure it's balanced and tightly fastened.
-
Grill the chicken: Place the rotisserie spit over the center grill grate on the low setting and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes to lock in the juices. Move the chicken up and cook the chicken for 1-1.5 hours, basting occasionally with the remaining butter mixture.
-
Check the temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Remove the chicken from the grill when it reaches 160F, as it will continue to cook to the perfect 165F off the heat.
-
Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy, flavorful chicken.
Tips:
- Butter over olive oil: Using butter instead of olive oil adds a rich flavor to the chicken.
- Internal temperature: Always remove the chicken from the grill when it’s 15F below the desired internal temperature as it will keep cooking after removal.
Conclusion:
With the Arteflame grill, making a rotisserie butter chicken that is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seared is effortless. Enjoy this delightful dish with your loved ones, and savor the incredible taste that only a properly grilled rotisserie chicken can offer.
