Grilled Rotisserie Chicken

Gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment required for this recipe. Preheat your outdoor grill to extremely high heat, making sure the grates are lightly oiled with a small amount of oil.

Prepare the chicken by sprinkling a tiny pinch of salt into its cavity. Next, use some kitchen string to tie the chicken's legs together in a secure knot, followed by tying its wings tightly to the body. Finally, attach the chicken to a rotisserie for even cooking.

Place the rotisserie over the preheated grill and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to begin cooking evenly.

While the chicken is cooking, quickly combine softened butter with a small pinch of salt and some paprika in a bowl. Turn the grill down to a medium heat setting and use a brush to generously baste the chicken with this butter mixture.

Close the grill lid and cook over medium heat, periodically basting the chicken with the butter mixture until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 180 degrees F (83 degrees C), taking about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the rotisserie and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
