He just had to go posting up some delicious looking rotibasket whirlybird thighs and I couldn't get it out of my head, so I decided I needed spun chicken parts ASAP. I grabbed some "Smart Chicken" brand quarters from the store, dusted off the kettle rotisserie, and went to town.
I dry brined them last night with a mix of kosher salt, Lawry's, and fine ground black pepper. The kosher salt + black pepper dry rub has been my go-to for chicken, but with everyone talking about the Lawry's seasoned salt recently, I thought I'd try to incorporate that into the mix. Just eyeballed a proportion of ingredients that seemed reasonable.

If you have a rotisserie + basket and havent done it, you owe it to yourself to give rotibasket chicken pieces a "whirl" :thumb:
Some high def crispy skin rolled in its own delicious fat chicken goodness:
