Garlic Parmesan Homemade Rotisserie Chicken
It's true... I'm prone to exaggeration, but this homemade rotisserie chicken recipe is seriously the best rotisserie chicken I've ever tasted.
It's very simple to make with your Ronco Rotisserie Oven. The only trick to making this recipe is rubbing the chicken with the Parmesan garlic rub under the skin. This allows the flavors to penetrate both the skin and the meat... and allows for a crispy, evenly browned skin. Rubbing under the skin may seem a bit intimidating at first, but I assure you it's worth the effort.
Simply follow the recipe below to make a Parmesan garlic rub, then carefully slide your finders under the chicken skin on either end... loosening the skin as much as you can without breaking it. Rub the meat down with Parmesan garlic rub and cook. As the chicken cooks in your Rotisserie, the skin re-adheres to the meat sealing in all those wonderful flavors.
The only thing I would change about this recipe is that I would double it and make 2 chickens instead of just 1.
