Sooty Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Cooked a Spatchcock Chicken today. I was aiming for a lighter Mediterranean style, rather than the sticky, sweeter one I’d done before. I marinated the medium size chicken over-night after liberally rubbing it with a mix of chilli oil, lemon, pepper, garlic, fresh thyme & coriander leaf. I cooked it offset on the Napoleon charcoal kettle with some apple wood chips. Checked after 2 1/2 hours, then gave it 10 mins. skin side down, directly over the coals, then rested it wrapped in foil with another squeeze of lemon & some more coriander. Really pleased with the result - juicy, fragrant & a lovely, light smokey taste. Went great with a Greek salad & a lovely chilled Pinot Grigio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooty Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks for the positive comments - I’m a newbie with cooking anything like this on a BBQ, but I’ve been trawling through the posts on here. So cheers everyone for the inspiration and tips. I’m pleased with the results so far (and impressed with the new Napoleon too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U can do that again Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thanks for the idea & congratulations on your choice of kettle, mine was a simple olive oil, garlic powder, fresh tarragon rubbed on, took about 90mins but I did drop the grate closer to the heat, then crisped the skin for 5 mins, served with green salad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooty Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Nice one! Looks very tasty. Too hot to cook here today - so just a cold beer in the shade for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
