rotisserie

Motorized meat turner

A rotisserie is a cooking apparatus that rotates meat on a spit before a heat source, ensuring even browning and self-basting: rotisserie chicken.

The word also names the style of cooking or the prepared food itself.

In fantasy sports, rotisserie leagues use cumulative statistics across categories rather than head-to-head matchups—named after the New York restaurant where the format was invented.
