4.

Cover with a tent of foil

Cover with a tent of foil, so that it covers the bird but doesn’t touch it. Place on the BBQ on the side without heat and cook for 50 minutes, turning the tray around once to ensure even cooking.​​​​​​​

5.

After this time turn the heat up

After this time turn the heat up to high (around 200C), remove the foil and brush with the glaze. Close the lid and cook for a further 15 minutes, then glaze and cook for another 15 minutes.​​​​​​​

6.

Test the bird with a probe thermometer

Test the bird with a probe thermometer if you like (it should register at least 70C – the temp will continue to rise as it rests). Cover with foil and wrap in a towel to rest for around 30 minutes before carving and serving.​​​​​​​
