Homemade Rotisserie Chicken

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F, lower oven temperature to 350°F when ready to cook the bird. Place the whole chicken inside the bag and add the cooking oil and the orange juice.

Step 2

Then add the soy sauce and the chicken bouillon. Sprinkle with the paprika and the poultry seasoning. Add the bay leaves and one orange cut in half. The orange put it inside the bird.

Step 3

Close the bag with the nylon tie included in the package. Cut six and a half inches slits on top of the bag to allow the steam to escape.

Step 4

Place the pan in the oven but make sure to allow enough space for the bag to expand during the cooking process. The bag should not touch the heating elements, racks or the oven walls.

Step 5

Cook the chicken at 350°F for 50 minutes or until reaching an internal temperature of 180°F. Let is rest before cutting. Use the cooking juice for making gravy or serve as a jus on the side.

Step 6

When the chicken is ready, cut the bag from the top carefully and avoid the steam. The chicken will be very hot so that the bag and the chicken should remain in the baking pan.
