BBQ Recipes

Sent in by Angela Clark

You are probably going to get a whole lot of these recipes, but for what it’s worth… you could even try a duck. There’s also something for your vegetarian friends at the end.

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 can large beer – the Germans make the big cans, like DAB
• cherry wood chips (optional)

Rub

• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon granulated onion
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 whole free range or organic chicken

Method:

In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.

Lightly spray or brush all over with the oil, and season inside and out with the rub.

Open the beer can and pour off half of the beer. Set the half-full can on a flat surface and slide the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity. Transfer the bird to the grill, keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the bird on its two legs and the can. Roast for 1¼ to 1½ hours.

Carefully remove the chicken and the can from the BBQ, being careful not to spill the beer – it will be hot. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can. Discard the beer. Cut the chicken into serving pieces.

Eat!

To make it even better, try soaking some cherry wood chips in the remaining beer for a few hours beforehand and place them in the Weber with the roasting chook for an extra smoky flavour.
