Perfectly Juicy Rotisserie Chicken

Prep

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

To prepare the chicken:

1.

In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). Remove giblets and truss the chicken (this is recommended for even cooking, see note 2).

2 tsp Paprika

1 1/2 tsp Dried thyme

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tsp Onion powder

Salt

Black pepper

1 lb Chicken

To make the chicken in a rotisserie:

1.

Skewer the trussed chicken. Rub the spice mixture all over the outside of the chicken (no olive oil necessary). Insert the rotisserie skewers into the rotisserie. Cook according to rotisserie manufacturer's instructions (for my Cuisinart rotisserie, it's one hour on the "Rotisserie" setting). Remove from rotisserie and let rest 10 minutes before carving.

To Make in your Pressure cooker:

1.

Seal the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 25–30 minutes for a 3–4 lb chicken, or 35 minutes for a 5 lb chicken. Allow Natural Pressure Release for 15–20 minutes, then carefully switch to Venting to release any remaining pressure.

Check for Doneness:

1.

Open the lid and check the internal temperature — it should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast. If it’s under, reseal and cook for 5 more minutes.

Strain & Cool:

1.

Lift the chicken out carefully using tongs. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or jar. Let it cool, then skim off any excess fat.

To make the chicken in the oven:

1.

Move an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the trussed chicken in a roasting pan, baking dish, or cast iron skillet. Brush the outside of chicken with olive oil. Rub the spice mixture all over the outside of the chicken. Bake uncovered until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 70 to 80 minutes. Baste the chicken periodically (every 15–20 minutes, see note 3) with accumulated juices or olive oil. Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before carving.

2 tbsp Olive oil

To keep the rotisserie chicken warm:

1.

Place in a slow cooker for up to 8 hours on the lowest possible heat setting.

Notes

4 to 5 pounds of chicken pieces such as breast, thighs, or quarters may be substituted for the whole chicken. Reduce total baking time to 30 to 45 minutes. | Trussing your chicken ensures an evenly-cooked, juicier bird, but you don't have to if you don't want. | If you go the oven route, it's critical that you baste the chicken every 15 minutes or so. It's a high-temp oven for crispness, but that means you can scorch the skin if you don't keep it moist. | After rubbing on the spice blend, the chicken can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. | The skin won't get crispy, but the chicken will still be tender and delicious. Transfer your spice-rubbed chicken to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours. | Cool leftovers quickly and store covered in the refrigerator. Use within 3 to 4 days. | The baking time is the same if you want to roast 2 chickens instead of 1. Make extra for a friend in need or for your favorite recipes.
