I've not had to cook a dinner from scratch in a week so did it tonight. Bought a chicken yesterday.
Spatchcocked the chicken, seasoned, put it on the grill at about 400 degrees.
Put a couple of small potatoes on also. They are called Honey Gold,
about the size of a golf ball.
Tomato and lettuce salad.
Sauvignon Blanc.
I'll get four of five meals out of the chicken but not every night in a
row. I'll break it up with something else at times. It is my favorite
way to make a chicken. I used to use the rotisserie, but this is easier
and maybe a bit better. Heat the grill a bit and stick in on. Done in about an hour.

I had a bowl of chicken noodle soup; yes it was canned. Two mini
brownies were dessert.

I haven't had canned chicken soup in a few years. I actually like the condensed stuff OK, but the Chunky stuff with the slippery noodles is
just crap. This stuff. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Campbell-s-Chunky-Classic-Chicken-Noodle-Soup-18-6-oz-Can/10308237
Progresso is even worse. Slippery egg noodles are, aesthetically, one
of the crappiest of processed foods. I had fried chicken skins and beer. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TWmbJEN4VGuzfryo9
Mine was a can of the original Campbell's Chicken Noodle. I don't
add a full can of water though and that makes it just a bit richer,
at least it does to me.

We have a Ronco rotisserie. It works pretty well. There's a single heating element but no heat regulation. The thing just turns on and spins. Cooking is done solely by time, not temperature. It's a brilliant, simple, design. The only other appliance that cooks like that is a toaster.

One of my wife's favourite BBQ dishes was called Indian Chicken. It was really simple to cook, even easier if you have a food processor. It
calls of a medium sized onion, a couple cloves of garlic, some salt,
pepper and cumin. Chuck it all into the FP and whizz it down to a mush. Smear it all over the chicken inside and out and let it sit for about an hour. Then put it on the spit and get it cooking. Baste occasionally
with melted butter or olive oil.

Meat cooked on a rotisserie tends to look good. Why is that? I can't say.

Meat cooked on a rotisserie tends to look good. Why is that? I can't say.
Because the fat is able to drip away and the meat gets an even
browning.

My wife's best friend and her husband were big time foodies back in the
70s. He was trained by his FIL who was very meticulous. Apparently there
was only one way to cook anything to perfection and, as persnickety as
they were, I have to say the results were always superb.a They did a lot
of lamb and beef prime ribs. They looked for the right amount of marble
and had to mount them on the spit a certain way so the drippings fell
off at the right place.
They used briquettes and started them either in a paper chimney or with
an electric starter and the then let then burn until adhesives or
whatever were gone.a When the meat was cooked the leftover briquettes
were tossed into an old pain can to be extinguished. The next time they
had a BBQ and the coals ran low they would toss on some the old ones
that had been saved so there were no new chemicals to taint the roast.
I am incapable of cooking with such an anal approach, but I have to give
Jon and his FiL credit for perfecting their technique because the
results were outstanding.

Meat cooked on a rotisserie doesn't just look good. It is good.

The exact opposite might be true i.e., the fat doesn't get to drip away but instead, clings to the surface of the meat. It's the closest thing we got to roasting a chicken in zero gravity.

If you have the meat suspended over the heat source or the heat sourceOf course it is. Just watch those Hula dancers in grass skirts and you
is around the meat and it's rotating there's no reason why the fat
wouldn't drip away. Unless gravity behaves differently in Hawaii and
at your house.

It's surface tension that keeps the oil stuck on the meat. The rotation of the
meat keeps the oil from building up on the bottom and dripping off.

This must be a phenomena that only occurs in Hawaii or your kitchen.
