Nevertheless, lets take a look at which style suits barbecue chicken cooking in the oven the best.

Rotisserie Style of Cooking BBQ chicken

One of such ways is to cook is rotisserie style cooking. Now Rotisserie style cooking involves roasting where the meat and in this case chicken is skewered on rod (called a spit), which is used to hold food when it is being cooked over fire in an oven or in a fireplace. Its the best way to cook chicken and this method is generally used to cook large chunks of meat. The best part about rotisserie is that it roasts the meat evenly and retains its juices and easily allows the usage of marination or a particular sauce while the meat is getting cooked.

In this kind of cooking, depending on the placement of the rod, it is either horizontal rotisserie or a vertical rotisserie. When it comes to horizontal rotisserie, the spit is mounted horizontally. They are one of the best way to cook whole chickens. A single spit placed or mounted over a grill or an open broiler or a spit mounted in a usual oven is normally the design of a horizontal rotisserie.

In the vertical rotisserie, there is a better scope for applying marination and different sauces to the meat than the horizontal rotisserie.

When you plan to make a dish using the beet, you need to select a fresh, firm and round beet. It should be deep red in color, with a smooth surface. Always choose small or medium-sized beets. Avoid soft, slimy or depressed beets. There should not be any black or dark sunken spots on the beet. Before cooking the beet, you need to clean it thoroughly in order to remove soil and chemicals if any. Simply scrub the beet with a vegetable brush and wash with water.

There are two common ways to cook the beets, such as boiling and roasting. While cooking the beet, always wear kitchen gloves as beet juice can stain your skin. If your hands are stained during the cleaning or cooking of beet, then it can be removed by rubbing some lemon juice. Always cook the beets lightly, as heat diminishes the anticancer properties of the beet. You can add an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon juice to improve the color of beet.

• Boiling the beets: When you choose to boil the beets, then you need not peel the beet. Cut off its tail. Cut the beet into small chunks if you wish. Place the beets in a pot of boiling water. Allow them to cook for about 15-20 minutes, until they become tender. When the beet is tender, you can easily pierce with a fork. Then place the beets in cold water and remove the skin off. Then beets can be sliced or diced as per the requirement.
• Roasting the beets: First peel the beets and cut them into small chunks. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the beets on the aluminum foil and moisten with olive oil and any spices of your choice. Fold the top of the foil to form a tent and then place it in the oven. Another way is to place the beets in a roasting pan. Roast the beets for about 15-20 minutes, until they become tender. Then remove the skin.
• Sautéing the beets: Heat 1 tsp of extra-virgin olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add pre-peeled or chopped or diced beets to the hot oil. Stir frequently. Then add little water and cover the pan with a lid. Sauté for about 5-15 minutes.
• Steaming the beets: Steaming makes the beets quite tender, without adding fats. Place the peeled and chopped or sliced beets in a steamer. Cook for about 5-15 minutes, depending upon the size of beets. You can cook the beets in their whole form too.
