Tips for Rotisserie Cooking To get the most out of your rotisserie cooking, follow these tips: Truss Your Meat: Invest in some kitchen twine so you can truss your whole chicken, turkey, or other meats to keep everything compact and ensure even cooking. Monitor Your Temperature: Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. You’re aiming for 165 degrees F for poultry, 125 degrees F for medium-rare beef, and 145 degrees F for pork. Low and Slow: Rotisserie cooking works best at low to medium heat, giving the meat time to cook through without burning the exterior.
