First of all, you probably have to remove the grill rack and /or use a
drip pan. My gas BBQ has a fourth burner across the back for the
rotisserie, which is damned handy.


The next thing is to use small birds, the smaller the better, like the
type that are just beg enough to spilt down the middle for two people.

My favourite way to do them is to puree an onion or two along with a
couple cloves of garlic, salt, pepper and cumin. Smear the mixture over
the chicken and into the cavity. The temperature should not be too high,
and that is going to depend on your BBQ. With mine, I use the rear
rotisserie burner on low and the small birds cook in about 1 to 1-1/2
hours. Baste with melted butter.

Or... you can just season them well with salt and pepper and baste.
