rotisserie chicken

Spinning oven poultry

A rotisserie chicken is a whole chicken roasted on a rotating spit, typically sold ready-to-eat at grocery stores and delis.

The slow rotation bastes the bird in its own juices, producing crispy skin and moist meat.

It's become a weeknight dinner staple—cheap, convenient, and versatile: I grabbed a rotisserie chicken on the way home.
