Best Answer

The rotisserie method of cooking chicken and other foods has been in use since long before recorded history.

For a horizontal rotisserie, food is threaded onto fairly straight small branches and then balanced between vertically-placed branches or other supports, so that the food cooks over an open fire and is able to be rotated in order to cook evenly. This method results in moister, more tender meat since the rotation allows it to self-baste.

A vertical rotisserie, such as used to cook döner kebabs and similar foods, is more modern and less commonly seen worldwide than the horizontal rotisserie.

As fixed fireplaces became widely used, rotisseries were specifically built to suit them, and eventually, built-in rotisseries were included in some fireplace designs.

Mechanically-operated rotisseries are recorded very far back in history, and electrically-operated rotisseries came on the scene as electricity became available, though it's uncertain when and where the first electric rotisserie was made.
