Petunjuk

1 Make the rub by grinding together all of the ingredients in a pestle and mortar.

2 Lightly oil the exterior of the chicken and evenly coat with the rub.

3 Half fill the GBS Poultry roaster cup with the beer followed by the lime wedges and chilli.

4 Firmly sit the chicken onto the GBS poultry roaster cup, making sure the chicken is stable and upright. Cut a wedge of the remaining lime and plug the neck cavity of the bird. This will help keep all the scented steam in the carcass and stop it for escaping.

5 If desired, a selection of lightly oiled and seasoned mixed peppers can be added to the base of the poultry roaster at this point.

6 Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 180°C. If using a charcoal barbecue, you need ½ chimney starter of lit briquettes.

7 Roast the chicken over an indirect medium heat for approximately one hour 10 mins or until the meat has reached 75°C. It is recommended you probe the meat with an instant read or iGrill Thermometer.

8 Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
