  • Page 27: Working With The Rotisserie

    As a general rule, the higher the grilling temperature, the shorter the cooking time. However, when working with the Old Hickory rotisserie, one must consider that the temperatures will vary from top to bottom. The top of the unit will have higher temperatures due to the natural convection. The cooking temperatures indicated above refer to the top section of the machine.

  • Page 29: Spitting Chickens

    5.0 Spitting Chickens Hickory Industries, Inc. A. Using Angle Spits Figure 1. Chickens Ties When using a “V” or angle spit, it is very important to tie or truss the product being cooked. This prevents the product from moving around the spit and also prevents damage by preventing the legs and wings from flopping.
  • Page 30 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 4. Trussing Legs While pulling on the tie, loop the strings over the legs of the chicken. Figure 5. Trussed Legs Make sure that both legs are securely held by the tie. Figure 6. Trussed wings Make sure that both wings are securely held by the tie against the breast of the chicken.
  • Page 31 In order to make the use of the angle spits fast and easy, we offer an accessorie called a Spit Holder (Hickory Part 195). This aluminum plate offers six holes where the base (square-end) of the angle spit can be inserted.
  • Page 32 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 10. Using the Angle Spit Insert the bottom (handle) of the spit into the Spit Holder. Figure 11. Spitting a Chicken Spit the chicken through the cavity. The chicken should be inserted through the “head” (or at least where the head used to be) first.
  • Page 33 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 13. Incorrectly Spitted Chicken This picture shows a chicken with the legs improp- erly placed. Note how the chicken seems to hang to one side. When spitted this way, the chickens will tend to “bounce” up and down causing the chicken to break-up.

  • Page 34: Using Regular Spits

    Figure 17. Using the Spit Holder Even though the chickens can be spitted on a work table, the use of the Spit Holder (Hickory Part 195) will make the spitting process much easier. 4900 Westside Avenue, North Bergen, New Jersey 07047...
  • Page 35 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 18. Inserting Chicken Take the chicken, with the drumsticks in the direction of the attached skewer, and slide the spit through the cavity of the chicken. Figure 19. Tucking the Legs The legs must be tucked between the skewer prongs and the center spit.
  • Page 36 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 21. Locking Wings The wings must be locked or tucked in place. When using the models N/5.5 and N/10.10, the locking method (pictured here) is only recom- mended with birds up to 2¾ lbs! With larger birds, the wings must be tucked under the breast, with elastic ties or “wing tuckers”.
  • Page 37 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 24. Inserting Double Skewers With the first chicken in place, insert a double skewer down the length of the spit into the shoulders of the first chicken. No thumb screw is required for the double skewers!
  • Page 38 Compress the chickens by exerting pressure on this last skewer, and tighten the thumb screw securely. Figure 15. Securing the Load Tighten the thumb screws with Hickory's thumb- screw tightening tool. This will prevent the chick- ens from coming loose.

  • Page 39: Loading And Unloading Spits

    Hickory Industries, Inc. 6. Loading and Unloading Spits On the N/45G, you do not need to open the front sliding glass doors of the machine in order to load the spits! If your unit is equipped with hinged side doors, these must be opened in order to insert and/or remove the spits.

  • Page 40: Checking Chickens For Doneness

    Hickory Industries, Inc. Checking Chickens for Doneness Depending on the model being used, a 2 lb. chicken will take between 50 minutes and 1 hour 20 minutes to cook in a pre-heated oven when the thermostat is set for MAXIMUM. By using a stem type thermometer, the operator MUST determine the interior temperature of the chicken to test for doneness.
  • Page 41 Hickory Industries, Inc. At The End of Each Day Turn burners valves or element switches to the “OFF” position and allow the oven to cool down. Remove any spits or baskets – allow them to soak for 15 – 20 minutes, using a solution of warm water and detergent.
