I worked in a restaurant that specialized in rotisserie chicken and it wasn't even close to being this good! Definitely, the juicier the fruit you use, the better. I've tried it a number of times with different fruits and have found oranges and lemons (skip the apple) seem to add the most flavor and keep the chicken its juiciest. I put chopped garlic and ginger inside the chicken with the fruit and rub the outside with ground ginger, garlic powder, rosemary or thyme and oregano.

This was better that Safeway's spit chicken. I mixed chopped garlic, hot pepper flakes and dried oregano - rubbed in inside and out put a cut lemon and onion inside and away it went 2 hours later golden and delicious Thanks Tim Higgins for a delicious dinner

Made this tonight and it was AWESOME. The flavor and the smell while cooking will drive you crazy it smells so good. I always soak my whole chickens in 1/4Cup Kosher Salt with 4Cups of water for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours. You wont believe how tender it makes it. I did leave the salt out of the orignal recipe.
