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!).
