Step Up Your Flavours With The Rotisserie Grill
Barbecue Skewers
Why is it that food tastes better on a stick? Juicy skewers slowly rotating on a rotisserie, filling the air with irresistible aromas and making the mouth water in anticipation. No other method of barbecuing fascinates and unfolds flavours quite like the rotisserie grill.
Rotisserie grilling has been around for thousands of years, and skewers are still popular with street food vendors, chefs and grilling enthusiasts around the globe. While it provides a fun centre piece to your grilling experience, it’s not just about the spectacle. Rotisserie cooking also brings out unique flavours and textures. Learn not just how to make chicken skewers, but veggies, lamb, and many more!
Four Reasons Your Skewer Flavours Will Pack A Punch
- Self-basting Juiciness: The rotation allows fats to flow through and around the meat, to baste it in its own juices. The result? The meat is tender and more succulent. As a bonus, any excess fat collects in a drip pan, making the clean-up easier.
- Healthy Slow Roasting: By roasting slowly on a spit, your meat loses less moisture, stays tender and does not become dry. Slow roasting also retains more flavour, reducing the need for calorific seasoning and sauces.
- Even Cooking: The rotation ensures that the meat is cooked evenly from all angles to achieve the perfect consistent finish.
- Crisp on the Outside, Juicy on the Inside: For poultry,
the rotating motion combined with the meat’s position over the fire, evenly crisps and browns the skin without charring or burning. Adding wood chips to the fire is an easy way to create barbecue skewers, smoked to perfection.

Prepare Your Meat

For poultry and large meats, trussing with kitchen twine is best. You can secure the meat to your spit with spit forks and remember to ensure it’s attached properly and doesn’t wobble.

Set Up Your Grill
First, place your drip pan in your grill to collect excess fats. No matter if you’re cooking with charcoal or gas, set your grill up for low-medium, indirect heat and aim for a temperature of 180-200°C. Attach your rotisserie motor, mount the spit and get roasting!
Although poultry and chicken skewers are the rotisserie classics, spit-roasting a leg of lamb, ribs or vegetarian barbecue skewers also boast unique flavours. Try something new like our kebab delights or garlic roasted potatoes on rosemary skewers.
