Roast Chicken on the BBQ
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken
- One lemon
- One tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Cracked pepper
- Cracked sea salt
- half a cup of fresh tarragon
Steps:
I prefer my chook roasted on the BBQ in a tin foil pan. To soak up the full effect of the flavors, I butterfly the chicken after 20 minutes. But firstly, I massage the juice from one lemon into the skin of the whole chicken sitting in the tin foil pan. I then drizzle a table spoon of extra virgin olio over the chicken and then generously coat with cracked black pepper and cracked sea salt. I stuff the chicken with the remaining lemon cut into quarters. After 20 minutes (or until skin is crisp, I remove the chook and cut it in half (butterfly). I use scissors to cut the chook in half. It is easy. I then sit the two halves on the lemon quarters and fresh tarragon. I return to the BBQ for another 20 minutes before cutting the legs from the breast. The chicken pieces will soak up the yummy juices in the the pan. It should only take another 20 minutes to cook .
