Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 1/2 lb or 2 Kg Whole Chicken
4 cloves garlic chopped finely or crushed
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Pepper
1 lemon.
2 Teaspoons mild chili pepper seeds, optional
1 -2 Tablespoons Dried Tarragon

Steps:

  • First of all we need to prepare the chicken. Here I will show you how to cut the whole chicken and flatten it ready for the marinade. if you know how to do this please skip this and move to the marinade instructions below.
  • You need a sharp knife or meat cutting scissors and a chopping board. See the photos below:
  • Step 1 : Stand the chicken up on so the wings are sitting on the board. Cut straight down the middle.
  • Step 2 : Open out the chicken and see where my finger is pointing in the photo, you will see a white cartilage, cut straight through that all the way along the chicken lengthways.
  • Step 3 : Cut all the way right through the chicken.
  • Step 4. Once the chicken has been halved place on the board skin side up, and using the flat side of your knife push down until it is flattened a little. If you don't have a suitable knife place the chicken in a zip lock bag and use the base of a heavy saucepan and push down flattening the chicken. You may have to exert a little pressure to push, or find someone with some strong muscles!
  • Step 5. Once flattened, using your sharp knife, run deep slashes into your chicken, pay particular attention to the thicker parts of the meat as this will take longer to cook if there are no slits in it. The slits help with the cooking and also the marinade to penetrate the meat.
  • If you are using a chicken larger than the weight stated above, place the chicken in an oven proof pan, otherwise, a container large enough to spread the chicken
  • The marinade: Add all the ingredients to the chicken, and with the lemon, cut in half first, squeeze the juice all over the chicken the slice up the used lemon and add it to the chicken.
  • Use your hands to rub everything together, and then place skin side down in the container.
  • Cover and leave to marinade in the fridge for 30 minutes minimum, 2 hours is the best amount of time.
  • Once the chicken has marinated, place on the grill / BBQ and turn frequently until the juices run clear from the thickest part of the chicken meat (the breast and thick part of the legs).
  • For larger chickens, place in a preheated oven, at 190 C / 375 F Gas 5, covered with aluminium foil for 25 minutes and then place on the grill / BBQ and cook as normal. or continue cooking in the oven until cooked if you are not grilling.
  • Serve with my Chinese Style Sweet n Sour Salad and baby Garlic Potatoes!

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

8 cups water
1 lemon, juiced and halves reserved
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup sugar
One 7- to 8-pound whole roaster chicken
BBQ Rub, recipe follows, divided
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
Serving suggestion: Lemon and Walnut Waffles, recipe follows
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried ground thyme
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 lemon, zested
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 lemon, zested
Oil, for waffle iron
1 cup chopped walnuts
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a bowl large enough to fit the chicken, combine the water, lemon juice and halves, salt, and sugar. Whisk until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight. If the brine does not fully cover the chicken, rotate the chicken halfway through the brining process. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl add half of the BBQ Rub and the butter. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate for a few minutes if the butter begins to melt after mixing. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Use your fingers to gently release the skin from the flesh of the breasts and legs. Spread the butter mixture evenly under the skin and over the breast and legs. Pat the remaining BBQ rub mixture all over the bird. Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan fitted with a roasting rack and bake until golden and the juices run clear, basting frequently, for about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Baste the chicken thoroughly with the drippings in pan, return to the oven, and let bake until the skin is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Carve the meat and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with Lemon and Walnut Waffles, if desired.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl sift to combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and salt. In small bowl whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then add the milk, vegetable oil, lemon extract, and lemon zest. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the liquid ingredients and gently stir the batter, with a wooden spoon, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. You can use a hand beater or a stand mixer on low speed, if desired.
  • In a very clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Add the remaining sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the batter. Pour about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup batter into an oiled waffle iron, sprinkle with walnuts, then close the iron. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes, depending on waffle iron settings. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup.
