Method

Chicken candoori

1.Preheat a charcoal barbecue (lid on). Brush chicken with olive oil, then rub inside and out with sea salt and tandoori spice mix.
2.Clean an empty baked bean can (or similar) and fill about with apple juice, then top up with apple cider. Carefully insert the can into the cavity of the chicken and put the whole lot upright into the preheated BBQ. Cook with the lid on for 35-40 minutes.
3.Check the chicken juices by piercing the flesh to make sure they run clear. If they are still pink, give it another 5-10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5-10 minutes.
4.Serve with limes, kumara whip, slaw and plum soda.
