Default Simple Chicken on a spit


Nuts to all the fancy recipes. I have tried different things with whole
chickens on the BBQ rotisserie but I just discovered last night how good is
is with just salt and pepper and basted a few times with olive oil. It was
fantastic.

However..... I have to remember to bring the spit in for cleaning. We have
a slight problem with the neighbour's dog. One of their two pit bulls comes
over several times a day to visit. You can almost set your watch by his 6
pm visit. He spends more time visiting us that he does with his owners. The
other is not quite so friendly. He prefers to come around when we are not
outside and snoop around in the garbage, the compost bin and the BBQ. This
morning when we got back from our bicycle ride and stashed the bikes in the
barn I found our BBQ spit back there. I don't know how he managed to carry
that heavy duty metal spit that far, but I have to say that he did a good
job of gnawing off all the chicken bits. It looks pretty clean. Needless to
say it will be well washed to get rid of the dog slobber, but he probably
saved us a lot of work by removing all that baked on stuff.
