"Recipe courtesy of My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness by Gwyneth Paltrow. Instead of putting chicken on spit you rotate the chicken in a roasting pan and it self-bastes itself, I increased the garlic salt to 2 teaspoons, paprika to 1 teaspoon and the butter to 3 tablespoons"
