Slip one of the forks on 

the skewer with the tines 

pointing to the tip of the 

skewer. Loosely tighten 

the screw to keep it from 

slipping.

Insert the skewer through 

the bird securing with the 

fork.

Cut 24” of kitchen string 

and lay it under the bird, 

breast side up, with equal 

lengths of string on each 

side.

Wrap each end of the 

string around each of the 

wings; catch each wing 

tip as the string is brought 

tightly together at the top 

and knotted. Do not cut off 

the extra string.

Cut another 20” of string 

and lay it under the back. 

Wrap it around the tail 

then around the skewer. 

Cinch tightly.

Pull legs forward; cross 

them on top of the skewer; 

bring string around and tie 

a tight knot.

Connect the string holding 

the legs to the string 

holding the wings; then 

knot. Add the other fork 

and push tines into the 

drumsticks to secure.

Check the balance by 

rolling the skewer in your 

palms. The bird should 

not rotate or be loose in 

any way. If so, redo the 

trussing. The bird will not 

cook evenly if it moves on 

the skewer.
