IN THE KITCHEN
- To prepare the thighs, add all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir.
- Tip the meat and marinade into a zip lock style bag and massage the thighs to ensure the meat is properly coated.
- Leave to marinade for at least an hour (ideally overnight).
- To make the peanut sauce, combine all the ingredients except peanut butter and lime juice in a saucepan and simmer.
- Feed the sauce the peanut butter a spoon at a time until you've reached your preffered consistency.
- Bring to a boil/bubble and immediately reduce to a simmer - stirring throughout.
- Turn off the heat, add a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice and stir in.
- This can be enjoyed right away or left and re-heated on your Weber Genesis BBQ Side Burner when your chicken is ready.
- When you're ready to get cooking, start assembling the spit; halve a lemon and use as a base point.
- Thread on chicken thighs until the shaft is full with the marinated meat.
- Top with the second lemon half to hold the meat in place.
AT THE BBQ
- Setup your weber for indirect cooking.
- Assemble the rotisserie as per manufactuer guidelines and cook at a low tempreture (circa 150 degrees celcius) for 60 - 90 minutes.
- Try and resist the urge to check the chicken too frequently, you want to lock in as much moisture as possible.
- After 50 minutes, give the chicken a thorough basting in peanut sauce for extra moisture, stickyness and flavour.
- After 60 minutes, cut off a piece at the center of the spit to test for doneness.
- Once cooked, remove from the BBQ and using a big sharp knife - slice your tender chicken from the spit and catch with a drip tray.
- Enjoy with any sides you fancy; we recommend white rice, flatbread, a crisp beer or two and lashings of peanut sauce.
