Rotisserie spits are great and they can produce a moist and tender chicken, but it is possible to get the same results without one.

The ‘true’ way to cook the meat is to braise it in lard over a low heat, until the meat is tender. Once the pork is well cooked, the heat is turned up ... Read More »
