Ingredients
- Chicken
-
1
Large Organic Chicken (I always try and go with the best quality you can afford and try and avoid buying from supermarkets)
-
1
Glug of Olive Oil
- Hot Chicken Rub
-
2 teaspoons
Hot smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon
White Pepper
-
2 pinches
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
-
generous pinches
Smoked Sea Salt
-
1 handful
Dried/Fresh Oregano Flowers/Leaves
-
1 teaspoon
Fennel Seeds
Directions
-
Remove any string from the bird and rinse, place in a pan and drizzle with olive oil then combine all the hot rub ingredients together and sprinkle over and rub into the skin and legs of the bird.
-
Allow to marinate if you have time for an hour or so or transfer straight to a hot BBQ.
Place the lid on the BBQ and cook it breast side up- this saves the breast from burning .
Cook for 20-25minutes and then slice into the thigh and side of the breast to see how thoroughly it's cooked through. Only serve when the juice from the chicken runs clear.
-
Cook for a further ten minutes and check again. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. You can also keep it warm on a higher shelf over the BBQ while you cook any sausages or vegetables.
