    I love this recipe. I actually stuff half an orange in the cavity before I truss it the squeeze the other half over the bird before I season it

    Thanks Aaron for this great recipe. Worked a treat for me - I have a 47cm kettle and used 3/4 of a weber chimney starter full of briquettes. I put a pricked lemon in the chicken cavety to add moisture. Also after the chicken was done and resting under foil and a teatowel I drained the veg (saving the juices for a sauce) and put the roasting tray on cooking grate to crisp up. When carving I removed the skin and put that back on the Weber for a few wins. Was delighted with the results, cheers!

    Best chicken I’ve ever done in a kettle
    And the veggies in the drip tray turned out killer

    Great cook and comprehesive instruction in under 4.5 minutes all killer no filler 😎 I'm gonna follow this cook as my first with a rotisserie in the kettle later today. 😋

      Update: this worked perfectly with rotisserie too. Weber kettle setup coals as in this video, with all vents open held steady 430F for entire cook (only over an hour).

    I'm just about to use this technique but I've brined the chicken overnight in a salt, honey, pepper cloves brine and I'm going to add a little smoke with my apple tree prunings from last year. Thanks mate and cheers.

  • @deathevokation1017
    @deathevokation1017 2 года назад +3

    Thanks for the video. Typically I go to 175F to break down connective tissue. To keep the chicken moist I stick a few thin slices of butter under the skin between the breast meat, and I still get crispy skin.

    • @LownSlowBasics
      @LownSlowBasics  2 года назад

      Nice mate! I definitely agree, especially if I’m doing wings I’ll go up to 185f

    This has become a family classic I have been making it at least weekly and with a 22” Master-Touch I easily roast two chooks in there at a time plus the extra drippings makes the potatoes taste amazing 🤩 thanks for the video ❤ I decided not to buy any rotisserie chicken gadgets after trying this out 🎉

    Cheers guys! I did it like this and it was a total success at home. Quick question, if I throw another bird inside the same size (so 2 birds at the time), would it need the same briquettes and time or will it need more of both? Thanks!

    Cheers for the post. Good knowledge to pass along as always. I've seen some people use a brine before cooking which looks to make poultry meat more moist and give it some more flavour. Have you tried that yourself and any tips if you have?

    • @LownSlowBasics
      @LownSlowBasics  2 года назад +1

      I haven’t played around with that myself. We brine for competition and use the heavenly help chicken brine which is very nice though.

    If I wanted to add a chunk of smoking wood, would I add it at the end of one of the baskets directly on the coals or put it on the grill above the coals?

    • @nicholask9406
      @nicholask9406 Год назад +1

      I would add it at the beginning. The meat will stop taking the smoke once the outer portions cook through. Start with a little your first time and adjust from there. And wood directly on coals. I like using smaller chips soaked in water for 10 minutes to reduce flame up.
