When I make this, I also put a smoke-box in the barbeque with mesquite wood chips.
Season the inside of the chicken with a pinch of salt. Tie the legs and wings with twine to prevent them from over cooking.
Put the chicken onto the rotisserie of the barbeque. Don’t place over direct flame, cook with indirect flame. My barbeque has two burners, I place the chicken over the burner nearest the temperature gauge so that I get actual temperature of the air around the chicken, but turn the opposite burner on. I also place a pan under the chicken to catch the drippings.
Set the grill on high. Cook for 10 minutes.
During that time, mix together the butter, salt, paprika and pepper. Turn the grill down to medium and baste the chicken with the butter mixture. Close the lid and cook for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, maintaining a temperature of 325°F, basting occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 180°F (83°C) when taken in the thigh with a meat thermometer.
Remove from the rotisserie and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes beforfe cutting into pieces and serving.
