Rotisserie Chicken

Ingredients

* 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
* 1 pinch Salt
* 1/4 cup Butter, melted
* 1 tablespoon Salt
* 1 tablespoon Paprika
* 1/4 tablespoon Ground black pepper

Preparation
1. Season the inside of the chicken with a pinch of salt. Place the chicken onto a rotisserie and set the grill on high. Cook for 10 minutes.
2. During that time, quickly mix together the butter, 1 tablespoon of salt, paprika and pepper. Turn the grill down to medium and baste the chicken with the butter mixture. Close the lid and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (83 degrees C) when taken in the thigh with a meat thermometer.
3. Remove from the rotisserie and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.

Cook's Notes

Basic recipe is ok, but it omits some very important steps. You must tie the legs and wings with twine to prevent them over cooking. And the most important detail, don't cook directly over the flame. Cook with indirect heat according to the directions of your BBQ. On my 3 burner BBQ, I turn off the middle burner that lies under the chicken. You can also place a pan of seasoned liquid under the chicken to catch the fat and moist season the food. I recommend wine, apple juice, etc.
