Bundt Pan Rotisserie Chicken is an easy method to prop up the bird to roast on all sides in the home oven using the standard Bundt pan.
Bundt Pan Rotisserie Chicken
By Sue Lau Palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day is with Bundt Bakers, and this month we are sharing recipes for savory Bundts with my selection being a bundt pan rotisserie chicken.
Not a typical Bundt- and last time we did savory Bundts I shared my recipe for Stromboli Bundt cake, which still remains extremely popular with my readers, and for good reason.
I do have to say that one was baked in a bit of a Bundt cake shape, even if it was not.
Not Quite a Beer Can Chicken
This recipe of rotisserie chicken, as you can see below, is not, but it does showcase a unique way to use your Bundt pan to roast the chicken in a style similar to beer can chicken, except much easier and safer. Empty beer cans aren’t exactly the best thing to be heating in an oven. In fact, I don’t recommend using them and will use a steel support that is sort of shaped like a volcano to prop the chicken over a pan of beer if I do that on a grill or smoker.
Off to the Oven
The way I do the rotisserie chicken in an oven with the Bundt pan is to take a piece of foil to cover the center hole so the drippings don’t go through it and fall onto the bottom of the oven.
Beer Can in the Oven Like So-
If you wanted to do an oven version of beer can chicken this way you wouldn’t simply put beer in the Bundt pan since that would not get up inside. Instead you would have to place the Bundt pan into a roasting pan with the beer in the bottom of that, similar to the way I do it on the grill (except I don’t use a Bundt pan on the grill).
Rotisserie Seasoning
The rotisserie seasoning I used was a commercial blend- which I bought because I was in a bit of a hurry so wanted to do the chicken when I got home from the market. I have a recipe for it around but didn’t want to spend time digging for it- I’ll post that another day.
Spatchcock Chicken
The detailed photos for trimming out the backbone in a spatchcock are shown in the post below for my BBQ Jerk Chicken, although in this case I cut the bone out after the chcken was roasted and rested. Don’t cut into the chicken straight away from the oven or the heat will force out the juices as steam, leaving the chicken tasting dry. Same thing goes if you are making any type of roast- turkey, beef, pork, it’s all the same and needs to rest about 15 minutes. You can use those minutes to get the rest of the meal together. Perhaps finish up work on a dessert Bundt?

Roast chicken in a bundt pan, perfect and beautifully baked.
That is one gorgeous roasted chicken that you served up!
I have a few old Bundt pans that I don’t bake cakes in anymore and they would be just the thing for a recipe like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
You can probably tell mine is an old one from the color- it was my very first Bundt pan! I’m not admitting how old that is at this point but—(retro color) LOL!
