4
To roast, insert 2 skewers through the meat at right angles, crossing each other, or use wire broiler basket.
5
Roast over medium coals for 2 hours (sounds long to me so be careful and check for doneness to your liking-2 hours is for well done), turning every 15 minutes and brushing with remaining marinade (don't brush toward end due to raw juices in the marinade and cooking safety.

).
