Needs to cook till 180 degrees in the thigh/breast meat.

Ingredients: montreal chicken rub by McCormick's will make a killer chicken! That or some Zatarain's creole seasoning or Tony Chachere's. I would also think about putting some butter under the skin after you season it up to make it nice and crispy when it comes out.

Set up the kettle for indirect (lit charcoal piles on each side) with a drip pan in the middle. That should give you a temp around 350. the actual time depends on the bird, but at 350 a 3-4 lb. bird should be done in 60 - 90 minutes, may up to two hours. You're looking for 155 in the breast and 165 in the thigh. You can put a bag of ice on the breast for 30 minutes or so before cooking. That way the breast will start out colder than the thighs and the two should be done close to each other.

To eat poultry safely you have to take it to 180 minimum. Does the carryover take it far enough? I have never heard of icing a bird while cooking. Educate me please, prOn of the iced birdy would probably even be better for all us NoooooOoOOObs that haven't seen these tricks.

You could brine the bird with 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar mixed into a gallon of water (make sure the water is cold for safety - maybe put some ice in) - throw a little of whatever rub you're using in there too. Brine it for a couple hours (in the fridge!), then pat dry and let the bird sit in the fridge uncovered for an hour. If you don't have that much time, just get as close as you can. If you don't have time to wet brine, then hit that bird with either seasoned salt, or kosher (or sea) salt and let sit uncovered in the fridge for an hour or 2. Then cook - Ron's got ya covered on that. I'm a 165 guy myself - but I usually run over that 'cause I'm lazy and disorganized - but it does turn out good!

What brining the bird will do is make it more tender, juicy, and more flavorful. Also the bird will be more forgiving if you take it a little too hot.

Bottom line is - you're not too late by any means. Backtime 1 1/2 or 2 hours from dinner, having the bird rest a little (loosely tented) is a good thing.

Good luck!

That's actually outdated information. Here is the latest safe minimum cooking temperatures from foodsafety.gov...

http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/mintemp.html

Poultry minimum is 165.

As far as icing the breast, I first learned about it from the Mad Max turkey recipe on the Naked Whiz web site...

I cook poultry to 150-160 range all of the time, never a problem. I buy good poultry from a safe source and have not seen any issues. Keeping the ice bag in place on the rotuisserie, now that would be problematic

Ron said it all. You have more than enough time to get it done for dinner. You could also spatch it and save on the time having to put it on the rotiss.

I was going to suggest that, but since his wife wanted rotisserie I didn't want to cause marital strife
