Step by Step Method
Step 1
Season the inside cavity of the chicken with about 2 teaspoons seasoned salt or white salt then place 10 whole garlic cloves inside the cavity; truss with skewers then tie legs together with cotton butcher’s string. Fold the wings under.
Step 2
Slice the remaining 4 garlic cloves in half using a knife then slip the 8 halves under the skin of the chicken (you can use less garlic if desired).
Step 3
In a bowl whisk the melted butter with oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, 1-1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt, paprika and black pepper. Brush the outside of the chicken all over with the melted butter mixture.
Step 4
Place in a glass dish; cover with plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours (the butter will harden in the fridge but will melt when cooking — refrigerate no longer than 5 hours or the lemon will start to “cook” the chicken).
Step 5
Place the chicken on the rotisserie spit/rod. Cook for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
