Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 to 3 1/2 pounds whole chicken (can use a larger chicken or a small turkey)
  • 1/4 cup margarine (use hard stick margarine only not soft tub)
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 2 tablespoons liquid honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (use lime juice only, not lemon juice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (garlic lovers can use more)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt (more for inside of cavity)
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large whole lemon
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a saucepan combine oil, margarine, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika and seasoned salt over medium-low heat, stirring until honey is melted; cool slightly.

  • Step 2: Wash chicken then dry with paper towels.

  • Step 3: Season the inside of the chicken cavity with seasoned salt (any amount desired).

  • Step 4: Poke holes all over the lemon then place inside the cavity (this will allow the lemon flavor and steam from the lemon to escape making for a more moister flavorful chicken).

  • Step 5: Using a pastry brush, brush the oil/margarine mixture liberally all over the outside of the chicken (save the remaining oil mixture to baste the chicken while cooking).

  • Step 6: Prepare the chicken for the spit by securing together with heavy string if needed.

  • Step 7: Place the chicken on rotisserie rod and secure tightly.

  • Step 8: Place the chicken on rotisserie rod and secure tightly.

  • Step 9: Cook at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour or until cooked through, basting with the oil/butter mixture while the chicken is cooking (cooking time will vary depending on the size of your chicken or turkey).

  • Step 10: When the chicken has finished cooking, wrap completely in foil and let sit for about 20 minutes before serving (this is an important step to lock in the juices!).
