I love grilling, especially during the warmer months. There’s just something about the smoky flavor and the sizzle of food on the grill that makes me excited for dinner. I’ve experimented with all sorts of dishes on my Weber Grill, but I’ve found that nothing compares to the tender, juicy chicken I can make with the Weber Grill Rotisserie attachment.
If you’re a fan of rotisserie chicken like I am, then you know that achieving that perfect, juicy, and flavorful chicken on a regular grill can be a challenge. That’s where the Weber Grill Rotisserie comes in. This attachment is a game-changer for grilling poultry, allowing you to achieve that rotisserie-style cooking right in your backyard.
Weber makes rotisserie attachments for nearly all of its gas, charcoal, and smokers, and there are a variety of off-brand attachments as well. Generally, they are straightforward to install and take down when you don’t want them taking up grill space.
Once it is set up, you’ll wonder how you ever grilled chicken without it. The rotisserie attachment consists of a spit, two forks, and a powerful electric motor that smoothly rotates the chicken while it cooks. This rotation helps distribute the heat evenly, ensuring your chicken cooks perfectly on all sides.
Using the Weber Grill Rotisserie attachment is simple. First, season your chicken with your favorite rub or marinade. Then, secure the chicken onto the spit using the forks, ensuring it’s balanced and centered. Once the chicken is in place, insert the spit into the slots on the rotisserie attachment and tighten the screws to secure it. Then, turn on the electric motor and let it do the work for you.
As the chicken rotates, the juices inside the bird baste the meat, creating a succulent and tender texture that’s hard to achieve with traditional grilling methods. The result is a perfectly cooked chicken with crispy, golden-brown skin, and juicy, flavorful meat. Trust me, once you try rotisserie chicken on your Weber Grill, you’ll never want to cook it any other way.
Not only is the Weber Grill Rotisserie great for chicken, but it’s also perfect for cooking other types of poultry, like turkey or duck. You can even use it to roast other meats, such as pork loin or leg of lamb, giving you endless possibilities for delicious, rotisserie-style meals right in your backyard.
In addition to the mouthwatering results, using the Weber Grill Rotisserie attachment is also a fun and interactive way to grill. Watching the chicken slowly rotate over the flames is mesmerizing and adds an exciting visual element to the grilling experience. Plus, the meat’s aroma as it cooks will surely make your neighbors jealous.
If you’re a fan of tender, juicy, rotisserie-style chicken, I highly recommend investing in the Weber Grill Rotisserie attachment. It’s a simple and affordable way to take your grilling game to the next level and impress your dining guests or family with delicious, restaurant-quality meals right from your backyard. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever grilled without it. Happy grilling!
Bonus Recipe
Brining poultry shouldn’t be reserved for special events or holidays. Brining poultry before cooking it, either in the oven, on the grill, or using your rotisserie attachment, is a great way to add extra flavor and juiciness to your creation. Here is my favorite brine recipe. I love it because it’s easy and always brings rave reviews from my guests.
Rosemary Garlic Brine
Ingredients*
1-gallon water
¾ cup kosher salt
½ cup granulated sugar
Two tablespoons of dried rosemary
One tablespoon caraway
One tablespoon granulated
Two teaspoons of freshly ground black
*These ingredients will work with a regular-size roasting chicken. For larger poultry, you’ll need to increase the volume of your brine. Example: I use this brine at Thanksgiving, but use five times the amount of each ingredient.
