• 
• Place the tray into the BBQ and smoke the chicken away from the direct heat for 25 minutes. Or 35-45 minutes in the oven depending on the size.

• Then carefully take the chicken out of tray and lay directly over the charcoal to get some colour
• Keep turning the chicken until cooked 73c internal temperature
