Charred Honey Lime Rotisserie Chicken

If you're a fan of that char you get when you cook chicken on the outdoor grill, then this recipe is for you! The way to achieve that char in your Ronco Rotisserie is to use a marinade or rub that has a bit of sugar or honey in it. The sugar content helps to caramelize the skin of your chicken... giving you the delicious char you expect from an outdoor, open fire grill. Cooking in the Ronco Rotisserie also keeps your chicken delicious and moist.

Getting creative with rotisserie chicken flavors is one of my favorite things about owning a Ronco Rotisserie.

In this recipe, we combine zingy, sweet, and savory to make a deliciously balanced marinade for a whole rotisserie chicken.
