Recipe type: Main
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • Whole chicken, 3-4 pounds
  • 3 small lemons, quartered or cut into 8ths
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Bundle fresh thyme
  • 2 T Weber zesty lemon seasoning
Instructions
  1. Set the Weber rotisserie attachment on top of the kettle. Prep your charcoal grill for indirect cooking and once hot, set the coals in briquette holders off to the sides. While the coals are heating prepare the chicken.
  2. Stuff the cavity with lemon, thyme and garlic.
  3. Gently loosen the skin around the breast of the chicken and season under the skin with about half of the zesty lemon seasoning.
  4. Truss the chicken using cooking twine.
  5. Gently push onto the rotisserie skewer and secure in the middle.
  6. Season the outside of the chicken with remaining zesty lemon seasoning.
  7. Set the skewer on the grill and connect to the motor. Turn on and adjust the weight on the handle end until the motor runs evenly as it turns.
  8. Cook, covered for 12-20 minutes per pound, checking with an instant read thermometer. Once chicken reaches 165 degrees in the breast, remove chicken from rotisserie and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
