WEBER POULTRY ROASTER RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare your grill for cooking over medium heat (400°F).
• Remove any excess fat from the inside of the cavity. Also remove the giblets, it there are any. The wing tips tend to burn and they don’t have much meat, so either cut them o or tuck the tips under the back of the chicken.
• Lightly coat the surface of the chicken with good olive oil and season inside and out with salt and pepper, especially the outside of the chicken skin. Salt is crucial for a deliciously crisp skin. If you like, stuff the cavity with some herb sprigs and a quartered lemon for added flavors.
• Truss the chicken to make it evenly compacted and to protect the top of the breasts with the ends of the drumsticks.
• Place the chicken over medium heat and let it roast for an hour or so, until the internal temperature in the breast reaches 165°F.
• Remove from the grill and let chicken rest at room temperature, for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Cut chicken into serving pieces and serve warm.

Steps:

• Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium heat (190°C to 230°C- roasting setting). If you are using a Weber Q barbecue, set up your barbecue with a convection tray and trivet.
• Tuck the wings behind the chicken’s back. Lightly coat the chicken with olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper.
• Roast the chicken over indirect medium heat for 1 hour and 15 minutes, with the lid closed, or until the internal temperature has reached 71°C-ensuring the tip of the probe is in the deep centre of the chicken breast, but not touching the cavity. The internal temperature will continue to rise 3°C to 6°C while resting (final doneness temperature for chicken is 74°C).
• Once the chicken has cooked, leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
