Sweet Honey Butterfly Chicken
Method
- Butterfly the chicken by cutting out the backbone and flattening the breastbone by pressing down hard with the back of your hand.
- Fold the wing tips back under the wing, then put the chicken in a baking dish that can hold it flat.
- To make the marinade, place remaining ingredients into a food processor (or mortar) and process into a smooth texture.
- Brush paste over chicken.
- Marinate the chicken overnight for a better result, otherwise cook straight away.
- Place the chicken inside the preheated BeefEater® BBQ (medium heat).
- Close with the hood and cook for 30 minutes.
- Flip the chicken skin side down and cook covered until it is done, and the skin is golden brown (another 20-30 minutes depending on the chicken's size). If the skin needs further browning increase the heat to high and cook for 2-3 minutes or until it is crisped to your liking.
- Once the chicken is cooked serve with your favourite side dishes and enjoy!
