Chicken Rotisseries

Commercial Chicken Rotisseries in Toronto & Canada

Our Chicken Rotisseries collection covers everything a grocery deli, restaurant, or butcher shop needs to roast and hold chicken to order, from compact countertop-style units up to full commercial rotisserie ovens. Equipex builds a scaled lineup of electric chicken rotisseries — the RBE-8, RBE-12, and RBE-25 — using infrared quartz elements to hold 6 to 25 birds at a time, ideal for operations without the ventilation for open-flame roasting, plus a matching RE-2 warmer that stacks underneath to hold cooked birds ready to serve. Alto-Shaam's AR-7E rotisserie steps up to 21 to 28 birds using a combination of radiant and convection heat with Ecosmart energy-saving technology, paired with its own AR-7H holding cabinet built to stack underneath and keep roasted chicken warm and moist through a rush. From roasting chicken in Toronto to holding it warm in Mississauga, Phoenix Food Equipment delivers chicken rotisseries across the GTA — Markham and Brampton included — and nationwide across Canada, right from our home base in Vaughan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

How many chickens can a commercial rotisserie oven hold?

It depends on the size of unit you need. Equipex builds a scaled lineup of electric chicken rotisseries starting with the RBE-8 (6 to 8 birds) and RBE-12 (9 to 12 birds), up to the RBE-25 (16 to 25 birds) for higher-volume delis and restaurants. Alto-Shaam's AR-7E steps up further, holding 21 to 28 birds at once with a stackable design built for busy front-of-house roasting. Sizing usually comes down to average daily volume plus a buffer for peak hours, so a grocery deli or supermarket typically needs a larger-capacity rotisserie oven than a standalone restaurant with lower turnover.

Do I need a special ventilation hood for a chicken rotisserie?

Usually not, which is one of the main reasons operators choose an electric chicken rotisserie over an open-flame setup. Equipex's rotisseries use infrared quartz heating elements, and Alto-Shaam's AR-7E combines radiant and convection heat inside a sealed cooking chamber — both designs are built to work well in low-ventilation spaces, potentially avoiding the cost of installing a full exhaust hood system. That makes a commercial chicken rotisserie a popular choice for grocery store delis, convenience stores, and smaller restaurants that want fresh rotisserie chicken without a major kitchen buildout. Always confirm the exact requirement with your local fire code and health authority before installing, since rules vary by municipality across Ontario and the rest of Canada.

What's the difference between a chicken rotisserie and a rotisserie holding cabinet?

A chicken rotisserie is the oven that actually cooks the birds on rotating spits or baskets, while a holding cabinet keeps already-roasted chicken warm and moist until it's sold or served — it doesn't cook anything itself. Equipex's RE-2 warmer is built to stack directly underneath its RBE-25 rotisserie, and Alto-Shaam's AR-7H holding cabinet is designed to stack with its AR-7E rotisserie for a matching two-piece setup. Running a rotisserie oven alongside a dedicated holding cabinet lets a kitchen cook in batches ahead of a rush and still serve chicken that looks and tastes freshly roasted rather than reheated.
