Rotisserie Chicken Recipe

American · Main course · 75 min total

A juicy, flavorful rotisserie-style chicken made right in your oven with a savory spice rub. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (3.5-4 lbs)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 lemon, halved
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
3. Rub olive oil all over the chicken, then sprinkle spice rub evenly over the entire surface, including under the skin.
4. Stuff the cavity with lemon halves and rosemary sprigs. Tie legs together with kitchen twine and tuck wing tips under the body.
5. Place chicken breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 50-60 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thigh.
6. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Tips

• For extra crispy skin, let the chicken air-dry in the fridge uncovered for a few hours before cooking.
• Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
• Leftover chicken can be shredded and used in soups, sandwiches, or salads.
