The Weird Sisters

Our next book was The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown.  We chose this book because all 3 of us have sisters, none of them are weird.  We are the weird ones!  Great read with lots of drama countered with happiness - just like real life.  Another wonderful book chat around a table filled with delicious food and wine.  Our menu for the evening was as follows . . .

Rotisserie Chicken
This chicken is delicious and always moist. You must have a rotisserie attachment on your grill for this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
1  3-5 lb chicken
 ¼-1/2  cup butter
¼  cup olive oil
1  lemon
Sprigs of parsley and/or other herbs or vegetables
1 can chicken stock
Seasoning or rub for chicken

DIRECTIONS:
1. Soak hickory or other wood chips 30 minutes or per directions on package. Add wood chips to smoking container on grill.
2. Rinse inside and outside of chicken. Season the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper. I used “Ruth Ann’s Muskego Ave. Chicken and Fish Seasoning” from Penzey’s Spices. Place a lemon, parsley, or vegetables inside the cavity to add more flavor and keep bird moist. Truss the bird with string.
3. Preheat grill on high heat. Place the chicken onto a rotisserie keeping the grill on high. Place drip pan under the chicken. Place chicken stock, butter and olive oil in the pan for basting.
4. Close the lid and cook for 1 ¼-1 ½ hours basting every 20-30 minutes, until internal temperature of thigh is around 165 degrees.
5. Remove from the rotisserie and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.
