A cooking device with a turning spit for roasting meat slowly, or a restaurant that specializes in roasted chicken and meat.
From French 'rôtisserie' (from 'rôtir' meaning to roast), which came from a Frankish root meaning to turn or rotate; brought to English in the 1700s.
Rotisserie chickens became a grocery store staple in the 1990s because they're incredibly efficient—one person can sell dozens daily with minimal labor, making dinner easier for millions of busy families.
