Rub your chicken down with this delicious Cole & Mason Portuguese spice blend that adds an amazing flavorful kick for one tasty recipe.

rotisserie chicken bravas

One of my favorite things to do on the grill is to cook up a rotisserie chicken.  There is just something about it being slow-roasted rotisserie while constantly turning on a spit.  It is just more tender, juicier and more evenly browned.  If I had it my way, I honestly wouldn’t even think about cooking it any other way because it’s just that good.

I used a simple spice blend and it has the perfect balance of spice and salt.  Believe it or not, I’m not a huge fan of spicy food, but I do like a little kick. To me food that wants to add that extra zip should be comfortably spicy, meaning I don’t need to drink a gallon of milk after each bite.

This little spice blend is loaded with flavor and most importantly it’s comfortably spicy.  I also figured since they know all about spices, and it says rotisserie on the bottle then I, of course, would make a rotisserie chicken to compliment.

How to Make It

If you don’t have the necessary equipment to cook it on a rotisserie, don’t worry because there are a few other cooking methods you can use.  You can simply roast it in the oven, or you can remove the backbone to make a flattened chicken and cook right on the grill.

The next most important thing to do is to truss the chicken.  This will help keep all the juices into the chicken as well as helping it to compress in size a bit so that I can put it on the spit and roast it up on the grill.

I always say it’s important to season whatever you are eating once and taste twice.  So, taste the spice blend first and make sure you love the flavors.  You can absolutely take it a step further by adding in some chopped fresh garlic or shallot, or even sea salt if you have a salt obsession as I do.

I just want to make sure you understand that you can add more if you want more. Brush the spices and oil all over and in the chicken and put it right on the spit and let it roast.  I like to cook them when the grill is at around 500°, and from there it really only takes about an hour.

Patatas Bravas Sauce

This dish is a mash-up between patatas bravas and a rotisserie chicken.  Patatas Bravas are traditionally from Spain involving fried potatoes, tomato sauce, and aioli.  Let me just tell you the combo of the tomato sauce and aioli is so insanely delicious that I had to put it on this rotisserie chicken.

For this dish, you can use a homemade tomato sauce that you like, a simple marinara, or even some canned crushed tomatoes as is.  The aioli is a simple combination of mayonnaise, freshly squeezed lemon juice, finely minced garlic, salt, and pepper.  I can promise you that this combination will be the best thing you’ve eaten in a long time!
