This rotisserie roast chicken brings a fresh take to a classic British roast, using Smokey Rebel Al Pastor seasoning to enhance the natural flavour of the bird.
The citrus and spice blend adds depth without overpowering, helping the chicken develop a rich, golden skin while staying juicy and tender inside.
Cooking on a rotisserie allows the chicken to baste in its own juices as it turns, creating an even cook and a crisp, flavourful finish.
This is a simple way to elevate a traditional roast chicken, making it ideal for Sunday roasts, Easter dinners or any time you want a reliable centrepiece with added character.
Serve with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and gravy for a complete meal.

Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper.
- Rub with olive oil and coat evenly with Smokey Rebel Al Pastor seasoning.
Add lemon juice and rub over the skin.
Stuff the cavity with onion, lemon and herbs if using.
Set Up the Rotisserie
Secure the chicken onto the rotisserie spit, ensuring it is balanced and tightly fastened.
- Preheat your BBQ to 180°C using indirect heat.
Cook the Chicken
- Place the chicken onto the rotisserie and cook for 60–75 minutes.
Allow it to rotate steadily so it bastes in its own juices.
What to Look for at the Finish
The skin should be golden and crisp.
- Internal temperature should reach 75°C in the thickest part of the thigh.
Juices should run clear when pierced.
Rest the Chicken
