Ingredients

  • 1 Whole chicken 5 to 6 Lbs

Marinade:

  • 4-5 Cloves of garlic
  • 2 ½ Teaspoons of smoked paprika
  • 1 ½ Teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon of ground cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon of salt
  • 2 Teaspoons of granulated white sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons of olive oil
  • Juice from 3 limes about ¼ cup

Instructions

  • Make the marinade: Add all of the ingredients for the marinade into either a food processor or a blender, and process/blend them until they form a smooth liquid.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Clean the chicken and then pour the marinade on both sides of the chicken. If you can, try to lift the skin off of the breast and thighs, and rub some of the marinate in them. Let the chicken marinate for 1 to 3 hours
  • Preheat your rotisserie, or oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Cook the chicken: Place the chicken on your rotisserie spit and make sure that it is secured properly. Then place the spit on your rotisserie and let it cook for about 2 to 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it has reached that temperature, take the chicken off of the rotisserie and let it sit for 10 minutes before quartering it.
