Preparation

  1. Pat the chicken dry and rub the seasoning all over it. Leave the seasoning to soak in for a short while. Take your time and get everything ready so you don’t have to rummage around when you’re at the barbecue.

  2. Light the barbecue with the XCelsius BBQ lighter and set it up for indirect heat. Time to fire up the barbecue. Give it a bit of time to stabilise before you carry on.

  3. Add some smoking wood and place the chicken in the indirect heat area of the barbecue. Take it easy and follow the steps at a leisurely pace – that way, barbecuing stays fun.

  4. Cook gently with the lid on. Check the internal temperature at the thickest part of the chicken. Keep a close eye on the cooking and continue to follow the recipe carefully.

  5. Remove the chicken from the barbecue once it has reached a safe internal temperature. Leave it to rest for a short while. Work calmly and get everything ready so that you don’t have to rummage around by the barbecue later.

  6. Carve it and serve straight away. Take your time and get everything ready so you don’t have to rummage around when you’re at the barbecue.

  7. Time to sit down to dinner. Serve up the dish, grab a cold drink to go with it, and enjoy – from all of us at XCelsius.
