Ingredients

• 1½ cups recipe30 BBQ sauce
• 1 whole chicken
• 3 tbs smoked paprika
• 1 tbs mixed herbs
• 3 spring (green) onions
• A little oil for coating (such as olive or vegetable)

Steps

• Step 1

  Breakdown the chicken into pieces (see how to video).

• Step 2

  Score the chicken by slicing a few thin lines across the flesh.

• Step 3

  Add pieces to a mixing bowl. Add the paprika. Add the mixed herbs. Drizzle some oil, enough to coat all the pieces. Mix well (be gentle as the chicken skin can easily tear).

• Step 4

  Place all the pieces in a roasting tray (keep them all separate). Roast in oven for 50 minutes at 180ºC or 350ºF.

• Step 5

  Heat up your recipe30 BBQ sauce in a saucepan.

• Step 6

  Dip each roasted chicken piece into the sauce ensuring it’s totally coated. Place on a cooling tray with baking tray underneath it. Return to oven at 120ºC – 250ºF for 30 minutes. This will help the sauce dry and stick to the chicken meat.

• Step 7

  Chop the spring (green) onion and sprinkle over chicken before serving.

Little Tips

If feeling ambitious, do a second coat of BBQ sauce dipping and return to oven for another 15 minutes.

You can also do the same in your BBQ so long as it has an oven lid.

You can remove steps 12 & 13 and serve the chicken as is if you prefer it moist.
