Hah.. have your attention now. I am NOT that fluent with rotisserie and was this bird did NOT want to co-operate. So.. FULL bondage it is. (Jill helped with the restraints ) I'm sure it could have been done better, but as long as the birdparts stay where they're supposed to.. it's a WIN. Chaz
Chicken turned out wonderful.. juicy and full of flavor. You could 'barely' make out the marks from the bondage. Balancing the weight was the most frustrating part. It always wanted to 'flop'. Will do that more often.
I always used to think the best part of preparing the chicken dinner was chopping the heads off and then throwing them and watching them do all sorts of acrobatics... Yes, farm kids have strange ways of having fun sometimes.
One of my earliest memories is walking beside my mom as she walked across the back yard, hatchet in hand. I don't remember exactly how she caught chickens but she would catch one and chop off its head. They really do run around with no head afterwards. Till they fall over.
Sorry no pics of the cooked bird, didn't even think of more pics.. just eating. Almost picked up another at the store today, Jill says she has 2 on the shopping list.
Definitely the correct rope is necessary as is proper binding technique. One definitely wants the proper strand count, twist and material. It’s important for the bird to remain in its original lashing location. As Chaz found out that improper restraints has its issues. That balance, binding and knowing your bird will yield the anticipated results. Well done, bird man!
