I am thinking about getting one of those counter top rotisserie
machine, mainly for roasting chickens. How long does it take to cook 1
or 2 chickens.
THanks,
Roger

Depends on the size and the temperature of the bird when it started to spin.
Mostly, 1.25 to 1.5 hours.

It depends on what kind of rotisserie you have . If you have the Farbeware
rotisserie it's difficult to do two chickens end to end. There's not enought
heat at the ends.

if you buy a rotisserie, it will have a booklet with suggested times.
my farberware 'open hearth' says 1.5-2.5 hours for a 3-5 lb. chicken,
with chicken starting at room temp. i have the smaller unit, so two
birds would not fit at one time.

My george foreman bird spinner takes about 70 minutes per 3 lb bird.
Since I can only eat about half of one bird at a time I've never
attempted to cook 2 at once. But I assume that 2 bird would take approx
the same time if cooked at the same time...But isn't this the reason meat
thermometers whether mechanical or digital were invented 160F internally
is the desired doneness. Several thin slices of lemon or orange or lime
inserted under the skin in various locations wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks everyone. I did not know that farberware made these. I only
knew about Ronco and George Foreman.

Hello Roger,
I have my Ronco for the last 2 years - I LOVE IT. It will give the
BEST rotisserie chicken EVER. Moist and delicious. I marinate my
chicken(s) in salt water for about 2 hours before roasting. Then I rub
it (them) with a dry rub and roast for 1.5 hours. That is for oen or
two chickens. The salt water for the marinate should not be too salty,
just enough to be a bit on the salty side. Teh chicken(s) will absorb
some of the salt water and the breast stays moist and not only the
outside skin, also the inside of the chicken tasts great! I treat all
of my chicken, whole or pieces that way before cooking, roasting etc.
