Rotisserie chicken - possible to make at home?

[Forever Alone]

I'm eating a lot of chicken and rice atm due to my training, I love the Sainsburys rotisserie chicken.
I'd love to be able to do it at home.

Apart from buying a rotisserie is there any way of replicating such juicy chicken at home?

Not tried them myself but ASDA do a whole "roast in the bag" succelent and flaversome chicken.

they even have different flavours

May be worth a go?

Rotisserie cooked chicken is definitely nice but cannot be replicated in an oven. However, if you get your chicken and cover it with whatever you like as a baste (I just coat it with S & P, olive oil and maybe a sprinkling of mixed herbes) then pop it into a roasting bag for the allotted time. The chicken will be perfectly cooked, very moist and you will be as chuffed as punch!

Enjoy.

Have you tried spatchcocking? I find that it cooks a lot quicker and juicer that way. Also try experimenting with brining if you’re cooking them regularly.

Try roasting your chicken "upside down" or breast side down, you won't get crispy skin on the breast but it tends to stay juicier.

Get Julia Childs' book 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking', and use her method to roast the beastie.

You could try a chicken brick. I tried it, and it was pretty juicy I have to say. You just have to make sure you soak it for 15 mins first, or it will crack in the oven. How much are the sainsburys ones though, buying a chicken is usually about the same price as the rotisserie though isn't it?

beer can chicken on the bbq , hard to beat . Don't dare say it's too cold to cook outside . The upside down trick also works .

Roasting tray with a wire basket and turn it over a few times whilst it's cooking , crispy skin all round and most of the juices stay in the meat .
Then if your anything like me you will eat the wings and skin and keep the rest for sarnies !

Beer can chicken is just a BBQ gimmick to impress, It does nothing for flavour or tenderness.

If you want incredibly tender meat then wet brine then air dry in the fridge for a few hours to dry the skin back out. Be careful not to wet brine too long otherwise the meat will end up mushy and salty.
