Spun A Mojo Chicken
« Reply #-1 on: June 27, 2017, 06:47:50 PM »
Since that rotisserie came in today I planned ahead and bought a bird and injected it with a Mojo Marinade last night. Just before throwing it on the rotisserie, I did a half a$$ job trussing the bird and then gave it a coat of two different rubs. The first being a rub on the sweet side called "Cherry Rub" made by Simply Marvelous rubs and the second was a more garlicy salty savory rub that I picked up a while back in Scottsboro Alabama at a place called the BBQ Shop (Bamabob and Caj know the place). They're a Big Green Egg/Traeger dealer. They make their own rub and sauce. I was just winging it here (no pun intended) and was happy to say that it came out pretty dang tasty! The citrus form that Mojo meshed well with the sweet and salty of the two rubs.

My only complaint was that the skin didn't come out nice and crispy, even though I brushed the bird with evoo and a little soy before applying the rub. The bird was just too wet to achieve crispy skin. Stephanie still ate it though, she's a skin junkie! It wasn't pure rubber like I've gotten in the past so I am fairly certain that with enough time to air dry in the fridge, I can get good crispy skin. There's always next time ;)

On the rotisserie. I moved the drip pan and slid the baskets closer to the center to help attempt to crisp the skin towards the end of the cook.


On the plate resting


Another view (Stephanie took 10 more but you get the idea, lol)


Carving and putting on a plate. Juicy as can be!


Served up with some red potatoes and onions, fresh pineapple and a little salad. Kind of a clear the fridge out meal I suppose :P

Oh, I like that a lot.  Where did you get the mojo marinade?. Sounds good to try on fish.

My wife got it at Publix, but I think you can get it at just about any grocery store. I know Walmart has it as well as Kroger. The one I got is made by Badia. We bought a bottle of it but they also sell it in a gallon jug. I've made my own in the past but it's actually cheaper to buy it pre-made.

When I roast a pig in the La Caja China, I'll use the gallion jug for that I think.

My wife (Stephanie) wants to do some wings in the Mojo marinade. It seems like I have seen a basket contraption that attaches to the rotisserie spit that you can load with wings and spin'em. That would be nifty!

It's on the "to do" list for sure Pam. A while back I did a Mojo Pork loin in the PBC and made Cuban sammies with it. Good stuff!
