I have a large rotisserie BBQ with double skewers side by each. I would like to get an idea of how many whole chickens I can roast at the same time. The skewers can fit about 5 small chickens (3-4 lbs) each, but I'm wondering if skewers will fit side by side and still rotate without rubbing.

What is the Average widest diameter of a small chicken?

I hoping that someone here with access to a bunch of small chickens can measure a few at the widest part and provide their results.

The issue is that the size varies greatly. However, once ready to put on the rotisserie, you could also truss or tie the birds, compacting them a bit and helping to create clearance. Seems to me that you could get a rough idea with two chickens, by placing one on each rotisserie.
