BIG GREEN EGG | GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS & VEGETABLES



Big Green Egg | Grilled chicken thighs & vegetables image

This is a very simple recipe for cooking chicken thighs with grilled vegetables in the Big Green Egg. The chicken is seasoned with a tasty homemade rub. If you like your chicken with crispy skin, grill the chicken thighs on the skin for 15 minutes and move them around from time to time. This ensures that all parts of the skin come into contact with the grid and become nice and crispy.

Total Time 60 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 4 persons

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken thighs on the bone with skin
2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp sea salt flakes
2 tbsp paprika
2 tsp ground mace
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground lemon grass
2 red pointed peppers
8 spring onions
200 grams tenderstem broccoli (or broccoli florets halved lengthwise)
200 g sugar snaps
sea salt

Steps:

  • Place the Cast Iron Grid in the Big Green Egg, ignite the charcoal and heat to a temperature of 220°C. Meanwhile, mix all ingredients for the rub together. Rub it onto the skinless side of the chicken thighs. To prepare the vegetables, halve the pointed peppers lengthwise and remove the stem, seeds and pith. Remove the roots and most of the green tops from the spring onions.
  • Place the chicken thighs on the grid skin side down and close the lid of the EGG. Grill de chicken thighs for approx. 15 minutes, moving them around every three minutes. This will increase contact with the grid, ensuring a crispy skin. Turn the chicken thighs over and grill for another 3 minutes on the side with the rub. Remove the chicken thighs from the EGG and cover loosely with aluminium foil. Do not wrap them up tightly as this will affect the crispiness of the skin. Distribute the tenderstem broccoli (or halved broccoli florets) over the grid. Close the lid of the EGG and grill for about 3 minutes. Turn the broccoli over and grill for another 3 minutes. Remove from the EGG and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Distribute the pepper halves over the grid. Close the lid of the EGG and grill for about 2.5 minutes. Turn the peppers over and grill for another 2.5 minutes. Remove from the EGG and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Distribute the spring onions over the grid. Close the lid of the EGG and grill for about 2 minutes. Turn the spring onions over and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove from the EGG and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Distribute the sugar snaps over the grid. Close the lid of the EGG and grill for about 2 minutes. Turn the sugar snaps over and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove from the EGG and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. If using a larger model than the Mini, you could grill the spring onions and sugar snaps at the same time. Distribute the chicken thighs and vegetables over the plates.

Big Green Egg | Crispy chicken with basic rub image

This rub recipe is not only suitable for chicken, you can also use it for spareribs, pulled pork, pork fillet and even prawns. You can, but don’t have to, let the rub be absorbed into the meat before cooking it. Leaving the rubbed chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for two to three hours will intensify the flavour.

Total Time 55 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Yield 4 persons

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken legs or 8 drumsticks
olive oil
barbecue sauce of your choice, e.g. white barbecue sauce
½ tsp cumin seed
1 tbsp paprika powder
1 tbsp fine sea salt
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp brown castor sugar
½ tbsp onion powder
½ tbsp dried thyme
½ tbsp lime zest
1 tsp chilli flakes
½ tsp cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat the EGG, with the convEGGtor, to 200-210°C. To prepare the rub; finely crush the cumin seeds in a mortar and mix thoroughly with the other rub ingredients. When using chicken legs, apply the rub under the skin of the thigh by carefully lifting the skin. This will bring the rub into contact with the meat, making it extra tasty. You can apply the same method on all cuts of chicken that have a larger piece of skin (note: this does not apply to drumsticks or chicken wings). Brush the outside of the chicken with a little bit of olive oil, sprinkle the rub over the chicken and press it in gently. Keep the remaining rub for future use. Spread the chicken legs and/or drumsticks over the grid, close the lid of the EGG and roast the chicken for approx. 20 minutes. Turn the chicken over and roast for another 15-25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the EGG and serve with the sauce.

BIG GREEN EGG | HIGHWAY CHICKEN
A quick method to make a whole grilled chicken on your kamado is to cook it like a highway chicken. This involves boning the chicken so that it lies flat on the grid of your Big Green Egg, which speeds up the cooking process. Grilling the chicken indirectly, with the convEGGtor between the charcoal and the grid on your Big Green Egg prevents it from burning and gives the meat a delicious roasted taste.

BIG GREEN EGG | BEER CAN CHICKEN
Beer can chicken from the Big Green Egg has become a classic by now… but in this recipe, we’ve added a little twist: Radler beer. The refreshing sweet citrus taste of the Radler makes this beer a real treat! While the chicken is cooking, the beer in the can will evaporate, keeping the chicken tender and juicy on the inside. This is primarily for the sake of the breast meat, as it cooks quicker than the thighs. The great thing about this recipe is that you only need half a can, so make sure the beer is nice and cold!
