Ingredients

 1

whole chicken 

2 tsp.

salt 

2 tsp.

pepper

2 tsp.

rosemary

2 tbsp.

olive oil

1 1/2 cups

dry white wine

1

Napoleon Rotisserie Kit

Method
  1. Remove the warming rack from your grill. Place the rotisserie motor on the mounting bracket. Turn the rear burner of your Napoleon on to high temperature typically between 450°F-500°F.
  2. Remove the giblets and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Pour the oil over the bird then sprinkle it with the salt, pepper, and rosemary. Rub the seasonings into the meat and make sure that it’s spread out evenly. Using butcher's twine, tie the bird up so that those wings and legs aren't flopping all over the place.
  4. Slide one rotisserie fork onto the spit rod, just a little more than half way, tighten the thumb screws so that they stay in place. Slide the spit rod into the chicken and press the chicken into the forks already on the spit rod. Slide the other set of forks onto the spit rod and push the sharp points into the meat, then tighten the thumb screw so that everything stays in place.
  5. Place the whole set up on to the grill, making sure that the bird is centered on the rear burner. Turn on the rotisserie motor. Place a drip pan under the bird and add the wine.
  6. You want to brown the chicken for about 15 minutes, or until the bird is crispy looking on the outside. Turn down the grill so that the internal grill temperature lowers to about 350°F. Grill the chicken for 20 minutes per pound until an instant read thermometer reads 165°F.
  7. Remove the whole set up from the grill, while wearing heatproof gloves, to a plate. Cover it with foil, leaving the spit rod in place, and rest the chicken for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Use this time to make gravy from the wine and drippings.
  8. When you're ready to carve, carefully remove the spit rod and forks from the chicken, and carve how you would usually. Serve with your favorite veggies, potatoes and don't forget the gravy.
