Critical Success Points

  • Grinding the spice rub to the right texture
  • Puncturing the chicken skin to allow flavour penetration
  • Maintaining grill temperature at 180 °C for searing and roasting
  • Adding the barbecue glaze at a reduced temperature to avoid burning

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination
  • Use heat‑resistant gloves when working with hot coals
  • Beware of flare‑ups when applying sugary glaze
  • Always use a meat thermometer to ensure safe internal temperature
