How to Prepare the Rotisserie Spit

Chicken: If cooking a chicken on the rotisserie spit, ensure that all the innards have been removed, that it is seasoned, and properly trussed.

  1. Insert the rotisserie spit into the chicken’s cavity so that the chicken can hang securely on the rod. Place the chicken with the rod on a cutting board and clean any food bits off the ends of the spit.
  2. Hold the rod in one hand, and one of the rotisserie forks with the prongs pointed toward the chicken in the other hand. Insert the rod into the square notches on the rotisserie fork.CAUTION: Forks are sharp. Handle with care.
  3. Poke the chicken with the fork and insert the prongs completely. Secure the fork by tightening the screw. Repeat on the other side.NOTE: Once the screws are tightened, there should be at least 1 inch of free space on both ends of the rod. The chicken should also be secure; it should not be able to slide back and forth on the rod.

Boneless meat (beef, pork, etc.) or fruit (pineapple, etc.) 

  1. Insert the rotisserie spit, lengthwise, into the center of the meat or fruit. Place the meat, or fruit, with the rod onto a cutting board and clean any food bits off the ends of the spit.NOTE: If the spit doesn’t pierce your food well enough to insert, carefully make an incision with a sharp kitchen knife to assist the initial puncture.
  2. Hold the rod in one hand, and the rotisserie fork, with the prongs, pointed toward the food, in the other hand. Insert the rod into the square notches on the rotisserie fork. Use forks only if needed to hold foods larger than the width of the forks.CAUTION: Forks are sharp. Handle with care.
  3. Stick the meat or fruit with the fork and insert the prongs completely. Secure the fork by tightening the screw. Repeat on the other side.NOTE: Once the screws are tightened, there should be at least 1 inch of free space on both ends of the rod. The food should also be secure; it should not be able to slide back and forth on the rod.

Air Frying Tips

  • Almost any food you cook in the oven can be air-fried.
  • Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger items.
  • Smaller pieces of food may be cooked at higher temperatures than larger items because they generally require less time to cook.
  • For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in single layers.
  • Most prepared foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
  • Frozen appetizers and hors d’oeuvres air fry very well.
  • Rotate trays halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure the evenest results.
  • Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries, with oil, in a separate bowl, to improve browning and crispiness. Fresh foods do not contain the same oils,  fats, and other ingredients that prepared foods contain, which promote browning and crispiness.
  • When making French fries using fresh potatoes, ensure they are completely dry before cooking in the air fryer. Even the smallest droplets of moisture will prevent them from getting crispy.
  • When air frying battered food, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the batters used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep fryer.
  • Coating battered foods in panko breadcrumbs or puffed rice, and then spraying them with oil, can help create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried foods.
  • Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
