Rotisserie recipes that work on any kind of grill

Advertiser Staff and News Services

If you've invested in a rotisserie grill, try these recipes. Or try them even if you haven't — all can be prepared on a flat grill, but you'll need to turn and reposition the meat to brown and cook on all sides and adjust cooking times to achieve the desired doneness.

Sweet and sour grilled pork roast can be prepared with a rotisserie accessory on your home grill.

Huli Huli-style Chicken
  • 5 pounds chicken pieces (whole legs or thighs preferred)
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup shoyu (can use low-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sherry
  • 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and crushed
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed

Place chicken pieces on rotisserie spit or arrange on top of grill or in broiler pan. Grill over gas or coals or broil in oven for 20 minutes (if grilling flat, or broiling in oven, turn chicken halfway through cooking time).

Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients, baste chicken liberally after 20 minutes cooking time and frequently during a final 20 minutes of cooking time. (Again, if grilling flat or broiling in oven, turn chicken halfway through cooking time.) Makes 6 servings.
