Embark on a culinary adventure with this impressive barbecue recipe that promises crispy skin and juicy meat, ideal for outdoor cooking sessions and impressive dinner events.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (approx. 1.5 to 2 kg)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 bunch of fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage), roughly chopped
- 2-3 garlic cloves, unpeeled and lightly crushed
- Optional: Smoking wood chips (e.g. apple wood or hickory)
Preparation:
1. Prepare the chicken :
Wash the chicken and pat it dry. Remove the breastbone and flatten the chicken so it has a larger surface area and cooks more evenly.
2. Prepare the filling :
Fill the inside of the chicken with lemon slices, fresh herbs and lightly crushed garlic cloves. These will release their flavors into the meat during grilling.
3. Mix the seasoning mixture :
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, ground fennel, grated lemon zest, salt and pepper. Then rub the mixture all over the chicken, inside and out.
4. Prepare the fire bowl and flame salmon holder :
Light a fire in the fire bowl and let it burn down to a steady ember. Place the smoking wood chips into the embers if you are using them. Clamp the chicken into the flame salmon holder .
5. Grill chicken :
Mount the flame salmon holder to the fire bowl. Grill the chicken until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the inside has reached a core temperature of at least 74°C, which can take about 60-90 minutes depending on the size.
6. Let it rest :
Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
7. Serving :
Serve the chicken hot with side dishes such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
