Lemon and garlic rotisserie chicken

The cook, step by step.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Done

   We start in this recipe by making the ranch dip sauce. We do this by adding all the ingredients for the ranch together in a tray and stirring this well. It may take a while before the sour cream is completely dissolved but this will be fine. Then put the ranch in the fridge as we continue with the next step.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Done

   We are now going to make the lemon-knoflook-time butter by mixing the tablespoons of unsalted butter in a bowl and pressing the garlic through it. Then we grate the peel of a lemon almost bare and add this to the butter. Finally the half teaspoon dried thyme and we stir the whole well now. We're going to use the butter in the next step.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Done

   We then take the chicken out of the packaging and dab it around well dry with kitchen paper. As soon as we have done this, we go with our fingers under the skin by the chicken fillets and at the back by the legs. We carefully make room here between the meat and the skin. We then fill these rooms with the butter by pressing it gently. Make sure the butter made is spread well. This will be optimal for the taste.

   Step 4

   Done

   We then make sure that our spit is placed on the barbecue and set the barbecues to a dome temperature of 200 degrees Celsius.

   Step 5

   Done

   We go for a half indirect setting where we place as on the picture 1 crescent plateau and a drip tray at the front of the kamado. This way the heat comes from the back and grabs the chicken evenly and not too hard.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Done

   Now the chicken can spit. Make sure to tighten the chicken in the middle with the bolts so that there is no slack on this. Clamp the legs between the hooks and prick the wings through the other hooks. In this way it was firmly attached to me in its entirety and you can't get any loose parts.

7. 7

   Step 7

   Done

   Then insert the thermometer into one of the chicken fillets and cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 74 degrees Celsius. This takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the chicken.

   Internal temperature: 74°C
8. 8

   Step 8

   Done

   Once the internal temperature of the chicken is reached, let it rest for 5 minutes and then serve it together with the ranch dip sauce you made earlier. Enjoy!
