Instructions

    Barbecue Set Up

  • Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 180 °C. If using a 57cm charcoal barbecue, you will need ½ a chimney starter of lit Weber briquettes.
  • In the Kitchen:

  • Finely slice the cabbage (using a mandolin if available), chop the bacon and grate the apple.
  • Combine the cabbage, bacon and apples in a large mixing bowl, season with salt and honey, then knead carefully.
  • Add the thyme and 250 ml of mulled wine and mix.
  • Leave the cabbage to marinate for about 30 minutes.
  • Using a pestle and mortar grind allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, orange zest and brown sugar.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of orange juice to make a paste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the chicken (outside & inside) with the paste and massage into the skin.
  • Pour the rest of the mulled wine into the base cup of the Poultry Roaster, and attach the infusion cone.
  • Distribute the marinated red cabbage on the bottom of the Poultry Roaster and place the chicken onto the infusion cone.
  • At the Barbecue:

  • Place the chicken over the indirect heat and cook for approximately 75 minutes or until the juices run clear and the meat has reached a core temperature of 75 °C.
  • Remove the chicken, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Tips

  • Instead of wine you can also use a mix of grape juice and water (50/50).
