Abstract

A rotisserie basket for cooking whole chickens, roasts, etc. without the need to pierce the food with a spit or rod as in other, conventional rotisserie baskets. The rotisserie basket consists of a pair of end plates secured in a parallel relationship by a set of parallel rods. A gate is hingeably attached to a hinge rod, and when closed, bears against a latch rod. The gate is secured into position by a latch that positions the latch rod in a “U” shaped portion of a centrally located rod. A leaf spring holds the food to be cooked onto the set of rods, securely positioning the food for cooking.
