A fun fact that you may not know about my wife is that she was employed for many years in the restaurant and food service industry. One of her favourite well-known chains to work for was Swiss Chalet, and to this day, whenever she feels nostalgic we visit one in order to satisfy our cravings for superbly roasted chicken along with the legendary (and super secret) Chalet Sauce.

To the best of my knowledge, they simply cover a non-frozen (Canadian) chicken in butter and salt and slow cook it to perfection using a rotisserie for a period of 90 minutes. The result is a moist, tender and delicious tasting meat that practically melts in your mouth. Note: All chickens raised in Canada have been raised without added hormones and are free-run.

Because of this, rotisserie cooked meat on a spit has the advantage of being generally juicier, because slow-roasting the meat rotationally cooks the meat evenly in its own juices and allows easy access for continuous self-basting. Generally speaking, when the chicken is being roasted the rate of rotation is adjusted throughout the process, which allows juices and drippings to stay on, thus maximizing flavor.
