Rotisserie Chicken with Herbs

Date: 2010/01/16
"This technique of putting herbed butter under the skin was familiar to me but I had never tried it. I softened the butter in the microwave before adding in some dried oregano, rosemary, thyme, paprika and minced garlic. Then I stuck the herbed butter in the freezer, while I got the chicken ready. I used a free range chicken, because they were on sale at Wal-Mart. The kitchen was not filled with the aroma of the herbs, as I had hoped, but that was apparently because all the herb flavor went directly into the meat. My guests agreed that this chicken was great. I like to cook, and actually enjoyed the process of putting the herbed butter under the skin. It took about 5-10 minutes to do this, and this is time well spent. I cooked it in Ron Popiel's Showtime rotisserie, and it was great. I will definitely make this again, maybe on the barbeque rotisserie, outdoors, once it warms up around here. Five + stars."
