Spiced Honey Half Chicken
On the Barbecue:
- Remove the chicken from the fridge, open the
packet. - On the barbecue, grill the chicken (skin side down first) for 5-10 minutes and continue to turn them until all sides are cooked.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through (no pink
meat), total grilling times should be around 20-25 minutes, depending on the heat of your barbecue.
In the Oven:
- Pre-heat the oven to fan 180°C / electric
200°C / gas mark 6. - Remove the chicken from the fridge and open the
packet to air for a few minutes. - Add oil to a pan and once hot, sear the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side. Avoid turning too often as this’ll stop the skin becoming nice and crispy. Then transfer to a baking tray and finish cooking in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove from oven and serve.
Minute Steaks
On the Barbecue:
- Remove the steak from its packaging at least 10 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. Just before cooking, season well with some of the Côte salt to give it a lovely crust.
- On the barbecue, grill on one side for 30 seconds then turn 90 degrees (to create cross marks) and cook for a further 30 seconds.
- Once the time is up, turn onto the other side and follow the above step again.
- If you prefer your meat well done, continue to cook on a lower heat for an extra few minutes on each side.
- Remove from the grill and rest your steak under a layer of foil for about 2-3 minutes.
In the Pan:
- The beef is best cooked in a nice hot pan. You
shouldn’t need any oil in the pan as the natural fats from the meat will help you out here. - Remove the steak from its packaging at least 10
minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. Just before cooking, season well with some of the Côte salt to give it a lovely crust. - Cook both sides in a hot pan. Avoid turning too often. We recommend the following times depending on your preference:
- 1 minute each side – Medium rare
- 1.5 minutes each side – Medium
- 2 minutes each side – Well done
- Remove from the pan and rest your steak under a
layer of foil for about as long as you cooked it for.
