Swiss Chalet Rotisserie Style Chicken

Swiss Chalet Rotisserie Style Chicken
Swiss Chalet is a Canadian chain restaurant that serves amazing rotisserie chicken.
I wanted to make this at home and played around with this marinade recipe for quite a while before I was happy with it. This is my copycat version of the Famous “Swiss Chalet” Rotisserie Style Chicken.

INGREDIENTS
1 whole chicken (about 4 to 5 pounds)
1 tablespoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons GF Ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon savoury
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon mustard
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS
Pour all the ingredients except the chicken in plastic bag and mix well.
Add the chicken, shake and swish the bag around to make sure the chicken is well coated; let stand at least 6 hours or overnight refrigerated.
Cook chicken in rotisserie oven or on rotisserie in BBQ until you have an internal temp of 160 degrees.


NOTE: This can also be made in the oven on a rack in a roasting pan. Cook it uncovered at 375 degrees until the temperature of a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the leg reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit

  3. Made as written for the FYC Tag Game – I say “as written” because it’s largely true, but there were parts of the recipe that seemed open to interpretation & I opted to get creative. I do not have a rotisserie, so I marinated my whole chicken overnight & oven roasted it per your instructions. There was no mention of discarding the marinade & doing so seemed a shame to me, so I put it in the bottom of the roasting pan & let the lovely chicken drippings join it there. When the chicken was done, I removed it to a serving platter & covered it w/foil to rest & be rewarmed later. Then I added a mixture of bite-sized potatoes, carrot sections, cauliflower florets, quartered large mushrooms & onion wedges to the roasting pan & braised them in the liquid combo w/added roasted garlic. This was such a delicious way to serve potatoes & veggies w/your tasty chicken. In some ways, this recipe reminded me of your “Beer Braised Ribs” that we loved so much. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

  4. Hi Bea! Great chicken and perfect comfort food. There is nothing to change in this recipe. We enjoyed it with a side of squash and green beans. Awesome tasting, especially on a cold and rainy day like it is today. Thanks a bunch for sharing. Made it for FYC.
