Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (4-5 lbs) (or two, two fill fit easily)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 lemon, halved
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• Fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat and giblets.
2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, including inside the cavity.
3. Stuff the Chicken: Stuff the cavity with the halved lemon and smashed garlic cloves.
4. Truss the Chicken: Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wing tips under the body to ensure even cooking.
5. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling and set up the rotisserie.
6. Mount the Chicken: Secure the chicken on the rotisserie spit, ensuring it is balanced. Insert the spit into the rotisserie motor on the grill.
7. Grill the Chicken: Grill the chicken for about an hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 150°F in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste occasionally with any remaining seasoning mixture or olive oil.  Remember, the chicken will keep on cooking after it is removed from the spit and reach  165°F.
8. Grill all your vegetables while the chicken is grilling on the spit.
9. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Carve the chicken and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture overnight in the refrigerator.
