Splendid Barbecue Chicken
With the weekend set to be one of the hottest this year, barbecues will be making appearances across the country. Why not try this Splendid Barbecue Chicken? It’s an ultra-tasty addition to your barbecue meal and we love it!
Ingredients
- 1.3kg chicken
- little beer or water, to taste
- 2 lemons, quartered, to serve
For the marinade
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
- 1 tsp paprika, plus extra to serve
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- the zest and juice of 1 lemon
Method
- Mix together the oil, paprika, garlic, lemon zest and salt and pepper. Brush this all over the skin of the chicken and leave in the fridge for 30 mins to marinate.
- To cook on a barbecue: cook for 5 mins each side in the centre, then draw aside to the edges to cook on a gentler heat. Turn regularly. Baste in between with beer or water. To check that it’s cooked through, pierce with a knife between the thighs and breast bone: the flesh should be white and firm.
- Remove from the heat and leave to rest, covered with foil, for 10-15 mins. Cut into portions, drizzle over lemon juice and seasoning, plus a little oil and pinches of paprika. Serve with the lemon quarters.
