Rotisserie Garlic Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (3 -3 1/2 lb) roasting chickens
    1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or use white salt)
    14 large whole fresh garlic cloves, peeled and divided (can use less or to taste)
    2 tablespoons melted butter
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (can use more)
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
    1 teaspoon paprika
Preparation
    Season the inside cavity of the chicken with about 1 teaspoon seasoned salt or white salt (or to taste) then place 10 whole garlic cloves inside the cavity; truss with skewers then tie legs together with cotton butcher's string.
    Fold the wings under.
    Slice the remaining 4 garlic cloves in half using a knife then slip the 8 halves under the skin of the chicken (you can use less garlic if desired).
    In a bowl whisk/combine melted butter, oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, 1-1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt and paprika.
    Brush the outside of the chicken all over with the melted butter mixture.
    Place in a glass dish; cover with plastic and refrigerate for 5 hours (the butter will harden in the fridge but will melt when cooking, chill no more than 5 hours or the lemon will start to \"cook\" the chicken).
    Place the chicken on the rotisserie spit/rod.
    Cook until for about 1-1/2 hours or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
