| Figure 1. Chickens Ties |
|
| When using a “V” or angle spit, it is very important | |
| to tie or truss the product being cooked. This | |
| prevents the product from moving around the spit | |
| and also prevents damage by preventing the legs and | |
| wings from flopping. In this section, we will show | |
| how to properly truss a chicken. It is important to | |
| use a tie to fit the size of the product. In this case, | |
| we are tieing a 2 3/4 lb. chicken with a 6” tie. | |

Figure 2. Trussing Wings
With the back of the chicken facing up, take the tie and wrap it around the breast, making sure to tuck the wings against the breast. Pull on the tie as pictured. You will also need to hold the chicken with your other hand.
Figure 3. Trussing Accross Back
While pulling on the tie, cross the strings so that you make an “X” across the back of the chicken. With the “loop” in your hand, you will now need to tie the legs of the chicken.
