Ingredients
- 2 (2) small whole chickens, (about 2 lbs each)
- 16 Tbsp (16 Tbsp) butter (2 sticks), melted
- 2 Tbsp (2 Tbsp) smoked paprika
- 1 Tbsp (1 Tbsp) fennel seeds
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Lightly crush the fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle or muddler. Mix the paprika and fennel seeds into the melted butter, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the chickens on the rotisserie and baste the birds with about 1/3 of the butter mixture, split evenly between the chickens. Every 20-30 minutes or so, baste another 1/3 of the mixture onto the chickens. Cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours total.
- Once all the butter mixture has been used up, remove the chickens from the rotisserie and let cool slightly on a wire rack in a roasting dish.
- Carve up each bird as desired and serve about 1/3 to a 1/2 a chicken per person. Serve with mashed or new potatoes and green beans or a salad.
