3. Remove all chicken parts hidden inside the whole chicken. Rinse chicken inside and out with cool water. Pat it dry with a dry paper towel.

4. Season the chicken inside and out with your preferred seasoning. You can use salt, pepper, old bay seasoning, Cajun spice blends or any of your own creations.

5. Place the chicken onto the provided spit. The spit rod will go down through the middle of the chicken. The instruction book will show you pictures of how this is done.
