Question

Is there a way to make it sooner, or do I have to refrigerate it for as long as stated in the recipe?

Community Answer

You don't have to wait, but the longer you let the chicken marinate, the better it will taste.

Question

What else can I cook in this rotisserie?

Community Answer

Anything that your rotisserie can hold. The grill should have a basket, a spit, and two sizes of forks, allowing you plenty of cooking methods. In the basket, you can cook various vegetables.

Question

Are chicken breasts cooked in the same way?

Community Answer

No. Chicken breasts cook faster. If you cook them even a few minutes too long, they will be too dry.
