3 reasons why barbecuing will never be the same again

We Kiwis love a good barbecue. What we don’t love so much is the effort and preparation that goes into getting the most important component ready. You guessed it, the meat.

Discover how Ingham’s Chicken is changing the way we barbecue.

Marinated to perfection and butterflied for easy cooking, Ingham’s Butterfly Chicken will be the star of your next barbecue.

A new twist on a classic roast chicken, the unique butterfly cut is perfect for barbecuing and makes it easy to cook a whole chicken to feed the entire family.

If grey skies are brewing, it cooks just as beautifully in the oven.

Available in three outstanding flavours, Ingham’s Butterfly Chicken is the perfect way to set the theme for your next barbecue.

Lime & Chilli

It’s easy to turn your barbecue into a fiesta with Ingham’s Butterfly Chicken in Lime & Chilli flavour. While the chicken is being grilled to perfection, treat your hungry guests to a creamy batch of chile con queso and corn chips. For the main event, serve this zesty, spicy chicken with a fresh, crunchy slaw and a vibrant tomato salsa.

Mop up all those flavours with homemade corn bread and polish it all off with a jug of minty mojitos.

Herb & Garlic

This tried-and-true flavour combination is the perfect partner for all your favourite barbecue classics. Think creamy potato salad, summery caprese salad and a crisp green salad with peas, mint and feta.

No quintessential Kiwi barbie would be complete without garlic bread – try this gourmet version starring Turkish pide that’s cooked on the barbecue. Tasty and practical!

Tandoori

With Ingham’s Butterfly Chicken in Tandoori flavour you can create a takeaway favourite at home. The spicy, authentic flavours are the perfect excuse to give your barbecue an exotic twist.

Pair with tasty vindaloo barbecued corn and a fresh and wholesome brown rice, spinach and almond salad. Cool down with a generous dollop of cucumber raita and make sure you laden the table with plenty of fluffy naan bread.

Top tips for cooking chooks on the barbie

If your barbecue doesn’t have a hood, cover the meat with a terracotta pot or foil roasting tray. Trapping the heat helps food cook more quickly and evenly.
Cook a butterflied chicken rather than a whole chicken. ‘Butterflied’ chicken means the backbone of the bird has been cut out, so the chicken lies flat. As well as speeding up cooking, it also means your chicken will cook more evenly and is easier to carve.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure your meat is cooked correctly.
Make sure you rub a little oil on to your cleaned and preheated barbecue grill just before you start cooking to ensure there’s no stickage.
