Barbecued Chicken
Delicious BBQ Chicken Recipe:
A whole chicken cooked on the barbeque is a delicious family meal that’s great value, too. Best of all, it only takes three easy steps.
Ingredients:
- 80ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
- 60ml (1/4 cup) white wine
- 2 tbs fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbs chopped fresh continental parsley
- 1 tbs dried oregano
- 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 tsp dried chilli
- Size 16 (about 1.65kg) chicken
- Continental parsley sprigs and serve with lemon wedges, to serve
Preparation:
- Make the marinade: Combine olive oil, wine, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, rosemary and chilli in a large bowl.
- Prepare the chicken: Rinse chicken inside and out. Pat dry with paper towel. Place the chicken, breast-side up, on a clean work surface. Use poultry shears or sharp kitchen scissors to cut the breast in half along the breastbone. Open the chicken to lie flat. Cut along either side of backbone. Discard backbone. Add chicken to the marinade and turn to coat. Place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight to marinate. Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Fire up the BBQ: Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Reduce heat to medium. Cook the chicken, skin-side down, turning and basting with the marinade occasionally, for 40 minutes or until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the chicken is pierced with a skewer. Cut the chicken into pieces. Arrange on a serving platter. Top with fresh continental parsley sprigs and serve with lemon wedges.

Well you will never 100% get that grilled flavor but you can use your stoves broiler, it’s the hottest setting and is the closest heat your gonna get to an open flame, you just have to be careful because it does cook alot faster than regular oven temps. You can also buy seasonings that give you smoked flavor.
