A barbecue smoker and a touch of spice to this plank cooked chicken recipe and get your taste buds tingling! I can’t resist a bit of chili and garlic but be warned, it’s a hot one. You can off course vary the spice quantities to suit your taste so don’t be afraid to experiment – go on, live a little!
Take the garlic and chilis and mix with the softened butter. Gently put your hand in the neck end of the chicken and prise the skin away from the flesh taking care not to puncture the skin – patience is a virtue at this point!
Take the chili garlic butter mix and smear it on the flesh under the skin, sprinkle the skin lightly with cumin, salt and pepper and then you’re ready for the barbecue smoker.
Place the chicken on the preheated plank and cook for 90 minutes at 180°C or 350°F.
