A very successful first attempt at [[Barbecuing|barbecuing]] a [[Spatchcock|spatchcock]] [[Chicken|chicken]].

You can easily [[Spatchcock|spatchcock]] a [[Chicken|chicken]] yourself ([[How to spatchcock a chicken]]) but for less than £4.50 Aldi do a prepared spatchcock chicken [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[Herbs|herbs]] or sweet [[Chili|chili]]]

I made a holder for the [[Chicken|chicken]] from two [[Oven|oven]] trays held together with garden wire.

{{RecipeIngredients
| One [[Spatchcock|spatchcock]] [[Chicken|chicken]]
| 3 slices of fatty [[bacon]]
| One bag of easy-light [[Barbecue|barbecue]] coals
| Optional [[Habanero]] [[Chilli sauce|chilli sauce]]
}}

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Place the [[Chicken|chicken]] between two [[Grill|grill]] trays and tie together with garden wire
| This makes repeat turning of the [[Chicken|chicken]] very easy
| Light the [[Barbecue|barbecue]] coals and wait until they are white-hot
| Press the [[Foil|foil]] tray so it's only an inch high
| Lay the fatty bacon strips on the flesh side of the bird to prevent burning
| Place the tray on the coals and the [[Chicken|chicken]] on the tray - this stops the [[Fat|fat]] burning and holds the chicken away from the direct heat
| [[Barbecue]] for 1 hour or until perfectly cooked
| You can check the temperature of the breast [[Meat|meat]] with a [[Thermometer|thermometer]] to see if it's properly cooked [73° 165°F]
| [[Rest for]] 10 minutes, then serve
