Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine the salt, pepper and oil in a small bowl.
  • To prepare the grill, remove the grates directly under the bird.
  • Add about a 1/2 cup apple juice to a cast iron skillet (or a plate made out of aluminum foil).
  • Place the skillet directly under the bird to catch the drippings and give off the apple juice steam to make the bird even juicer.
  • To prepare the bird, tie up the legs.
  • Insert bird on rotisserie stick.
  • Secure with spikes.
  • Tie the bird extra tight to keep it from shifting or falling during cooking.
  • Also make sure wings are tied close to the rest of the bird so they don’t burn.
  • Turn on the burners that aren’t directly under the bird to high for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, reduce the burners to low to maintain a consistent temperature of 325-350 degrees.
  • Using a brush, baste the bird.
  • Cook the unstuffed bird for 20 minutes per pound or until the meat is falling off the bird.
  • If the skin isn’t as crispy as you’d like, then turn the heat up to medium high for a few minutes and let it brown.
