Looking for a way to prepare tender, evenly cooked meat that's packed with flavor? Use a rotisserie on a grill. Your beef or chicken rotates slowly over low heat and absorbs the fabulous flavor of the rub or marinade you applied beforehand. Your grill may have a rotisserie attachment, or you can buy a rotisserie designed for your model. Either way, all you have to do is skewer the food, close the grill lid and end up with a delightful dinner.

How to Use a Rotisserie Grill

Step 1

Apply a rub or marinade to get your meat or poultry ready for the grill.
Step 2

Use kitchen string to tie up the legs and wings of poultry so they stay put on the rotisserie.
Step 3

Put the meat in the middle of the rotisserie spit. Roll the spit in your hands to see whether it's balanced. Adjust the position of the meat if necessary.
Step 4

Put a drip pan under the meat or poultry -- use one big enough to catch all the drippings. Putting about an inch of water in the drip pan keeps the food from drying out.
Step 5

Start the rotisserie motor and check to make sure it's working well. Turn your burner on low heat.
Step 6

Use a meat thermometer to determine when the meat is done.
