Instructions

Each bite of this recipe has a tantalising combination of flavours and textures. Sweet, sticky, soy sauce that coats perfectly seasoned, salt and pepper, crispy skin chicken. Cooking the chicken thigh fillets on a hotplate means the skin will have maximum contact with the hot cooking surface, resulting in the most epic golden crispy chicken skin.
  • Prepare the barbecue for cooking using a hotplate over direct medium-high heat (210°C-250°C), and preheat as directed.
    Prepare the barbecue for cooking using a hotplate over direct medium-high heat (210°C-250°C), and preheat as directed. Refer to Step 7 for information on settings and set up methods on a Weber Q.
  • Make the Salt and Pepper Seasoning: Mix the coarsely ground Szechuan peppercorns with garlic powder, salt, pepper and rice flour.
  • Coat the chicken with the olive oil and then evenly apply the Salt and Pepper Seasoning.
  • Once the barbecue has preheated, add the chicken to the hotplate, skin side down. Cook over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden. Flip and continue to cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the barbecue and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken, as desired. Add to a bowl with the Kecap Manis, toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle over the capsicum and spring onion, tossing again. Pour onto a serving platter and finish with a garnish of sesame seeds.
  • New Full Or Half Hotplate Direct Medium High Heat

Tip 1:

Skin on, boneless chicken thigh fillets can be hard to come across. You can either order them from your butcher or have a go at deboning them for yourself. 

Tip 2:

Kecap Manis is a Sweet Soy Sauce, available from the Asian isle of most supermarkets.
