Ingredients

  • 1 chicken (grill chicken)
  • Salt
  • 1 untreated lemon
  • sage leaf
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • a pinch pepper (ground)
  • a pinch curry
  • 1 tsp ground chili peppers
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp sharp mustard
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • lemon zest
  • sage leaf

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the chicken under running water, pat dry and salt inside. Roughly cube the lemon and fill the chicken with it along with sage leaves. Secure with toothpicks.

  2. 2.

    Lightly oil the poultry rack, mix paprika, pepper, curry and chili with a little salt and evenly coat the outside of the chicken, rubbing well. Then place on the poultry rack (or spit).

  3. 3.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C fan. Place the chicken on the lowest rack or on the floor, bake for about 60 minutes (if it darkens too much on top, cover with a piece of foil). Near halfway through, whisk honey, mustard and oil smooth and brush all over the chicken, finish cooking.

    Remove finished chicken from oven and serve garnished with lemon slices.
