How is the rotisserie chicken cooked?

Rotisserie chicken is uniquely cooked using a method that involves roasting it over a heat source, typically using a rotisserie oven where the chicken is held on a spit and continuously rotates. This rotation allows the chicken to cook evenly, ensuring that it remains moist and develops a deliciously crispy skin as it bastes in its own juices. When cooked over hardwood, the chicken can also absorb additional smoky flavors, enhancing its taste profile significantly.

The other cooking methods mentioned do not apply to rotisserie chicken. Boiling would not yield the same texture or flavor complexities associated with roasting, grilling with a glaze would involve direct heat and would not ensure the same level of even cooking, and frying in oil would change the cooking style entirely, resulting in a very different product that lacks the traditional characteristics of rotisserie chicken.
