QuestionIs there a way to make it sooner, or do I have to refrigerate it for as long as stated in the recipe?Community AnswerYou don't have to wait, but the longer you let the chicken marinate, the better it will taste.

QuestionWhat else can I cook in this rotisserie?Community AnswerAnything that your rotisserie can hold. The grill should have a basket, a spit, and two sizes of forks, allowing you plenty of cooking methods. In the basket, you can cook various vegetables.

To cook a chicken in a George Foreman rotisserie, begin by pushing the whole chicken on to the rotisserie spit and then onto the rotisserie bar. Then, let it cook in the rotisserie for 1 and a half hours. When the timer goes off, insert a meat thermometer into the chicken. If the internal temperature reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit, your chicken is ready to eat. If it’s too cold, continue cooking it and re-take the temperature every 5 minutes until it’s ready.
