  • 1 large carrot peeled and grated
  • 6 tbsp thick mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp American mustard
  • 2 handful of coriander roughly chopped
  • 4 pickled chillies chopped
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, add the spice rub ingredients and mix well.
  2. Lay the ribs into a large roasting dish and massage all over with the spice rub.
  3. Pour in the beer to the dish and then cover the dish with tin foil. This will help the ribs steam whilst they bake in the BBQ. If you have the time, pop in the fridge for an hour or so to marinate.
  4. Then cover with tin foil and bake at 170c for 45 - 60 minutes in the Kamado BBQ with the convector plate fitted. Once they are cooked remove from the BBQ and leave to cool slightly.
  5. In the meantime, add the mustard, honey, bourbon, cider vinegar and brown sugar to a saucepan and bring to the boil and then remove from the heat to cool.
  6. When the BBQ is ready, put the cooked ribs onto a BBQ and start to colour them up, this will take around 2-3 minutes. Make sure you turn at the halfway stage.
  7. Now with a pastry brush glaze the ribs with the yellow mustard sauce and continue to BBQ them for another 2-3 minutes. Once the sugar starts to caramelise brush again, then repeat until you have a lovely glazed rib.
  8. While the ribs are cooking add all the slaw ingredients to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir well.
  9. Spoon the coleslaw onto serving plates along with the ribs. If you have a little yellow BBQ sauce use this as a dipping sauce.

For the baked potatoes
  • 300 g large new potatoes approx 8 new potatoes
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp salt
To garnish
  • 8 spears grilled asparagus
  • 1 bunch of washed watercress
Instructions
  1. Prepare your hot coals for the BBQ.
  2. Push the coals to the back to create a bit of space for your potatoes.
  3. Place the potatoes onto a tray and coat in the oil and salt.
  4. Lay the potatoes directly in front of the edge of the coals, making sure you take care doing so.
  5. Let these cook for around 15 minutes, making sure to turn them regularly. You can test if they are cooked by piercing them with a skewer to make sure they are soft. When they are cooked, remove them from the BBQ. They will have a little soot on them, but that’s ok.
  6. Leave the potatoes to stand for around 8 minutes, this will allow the inside of the potato to finish cooking/steaming in the middle.
  7. Next up, drizzle the steak in the vegetable oil and season heavily with salt.
  8. Lay the steak onto a medium to hot BBQ if using the egg preheat to 200c.
  9. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn over and repeat the time.
  10. Once both sides are coloured, lay the steak so that the sides of beef are also colouring up.
  11. While the steak is cooking, place a saucepan on to the BBQ and add the butter, garlic and herbs.
  12. Heat the butter till you end up with a nutty brown colour and aroma, then remove from heat and add the lemon juice. This will stop the butter cooking. Season the butter with a little salt if needed.
  13. To check the steak is cooked, use a digital probe if the steak is a 40c remove from the grill and lay into the dish with the nutty butter to rest.
  14. To make the blue cheese sauce add the crumbled cheese, sour cream and mayo into the bowl and beat together, season up and stir in the chives. Keep in the fridge.
  15. Finally, place the asparagus onto a small tray. Drizzle over a couple of spoons of butter onto the asparagus and a sprinkle of salt. Coat well and place directly onto the hot bbq. Cook these for around 5 minutes, turning them once or twice.
  16. Once the steak has rested for around 10-15 minutes, carve the steak and lay on to serving plates along with the potatoes, asparagus and watercress.
  17. Drizzle the steak with the nutty butter and spoon the blue cheese sauce over the potatoes.

Spatchcocked Chicken with Sweet & Spicy BBQ Rub

Spatchcocked Chicken with Sweet & Spicy BBQ Rub

by | Monday 3 August 2020 | Chicken, Meat, Rubs

In this whole grilled chicken recipe, the backbone is removed and the chicken is flattened then grilled under the weight of 2 bricks–which enables it to cook quickly and evenly. The homemade rub recipe makes enough to prepare 2 pounds of boneless chicken or 4 pounds of bone-in chicken, but you can easily double or triple the recipe and store the extra in an airtight container for up to 3 months so you can have it on hand throughout the grilling season.

 Spatchcocked Chicken with Sweet & Spicy BBQ Rub

Cook Time 1.75 hours
Servings

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 4 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.75 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4.5 pound chicken
Prep Time 30 mins
Cook Time 1.75 hours

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 4 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.75 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4.5 pound chicken
Instructions
To prepare rub:
  1. Combine chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, salt, paprika, garlic powder, ginger, and cayenne in a small bowl.
To prepare chicken:
  1. Remove giblets from chicken and trim any excess skin and fat. Using kitchen shears, cut the chicken down one side of the backbone, through the ribs. Make an identical cut on the opposite side to remove the backbone completely; discard. Place the chicken cut-side down and flatten with the heel of your hand. Rub the dry rub mixture under the skin onto the breast meat and leg meat and rub a little on the skin. Let stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
To grill chicken:
  1. Place 2 foil-wrapped bricks on the grill rack. Preheat a gas grill to medium-high or build a two-zone fire (coals on one side of the grill) in a charcoal grill and let it burn down to medium-high heat (about 220-230 degrees C).
  2. If using a gas grill, turn off one burner (leaving 1 to 2 burners lit, depending on your grill). Oil the grill rack.
  3. Wearing oven mitts, remove the hot bricks and set the chicken on the rack, skin-side down, over the unlit portion of the grill. Place one brick on each half of the chicken, close the lid, and grill until the skin is well marked and golden around the edges, 28 to 30 minutes. (If using a charcoal grill, add 10 coals after the first 30 minutes to maintain the heat.)
  4. Wearing oven mitts, carefully remove the bricks. Using a large spatula, carefully turn the chicken over. Replace the bricks, close the lid and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 73 degrees C, 28 to 30 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before removing the skin and carving.
Recipe Notes

Tips
Make Ahead Tip: Store the rub, airtight, for up to 1 month.

Equipment: 2 bricks

Once the grill is heated, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the hot rack right before placing the chicken on the grill.
