How to make rotisserie chicken at home
There are two main ways to make one at home.. the slow cooker and the oven. You can also make one on a grill, but for most people, that's not a year-round option.
How long to cook Rotisserie chicken in the oven
For a 4-5 pound chicken, you will need to roast it at 425°F for 70-85 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. To prevent it from drying out in the hot oven, periodically brush the juices that have accumulated in the pan.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 - 5 lb whole chicken, innards removed
- 1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika
- kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Add 4 balls of aluminum foil to the bottom of a large slow cooker to create a rack for the chicken to cook on. Prepare the chicken by removing the internal parts and patting them dry inside and out.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients, then rub the mixture all over the chicken. Place the chicken in the slow cooker on top of the metal balls.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until juices run clear and chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- To get a crispy skin, heat the grill to high and place the chicken on a large baking sheet lined with parchment (for easy cleanup). Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and simmer for a few minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
