Directions

  • Trim the chicken as required and place in a large bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and 50g of
    Exodust per Kg of chicken together and 50g/Kg Exodust rub/Kg of chicken plaster all over the chicken. Get it infused!

  • Set aside preferably overnight but an hour will be fine. Set up BBQ for indirect cooking or crack the oven onto 180C. If BBQing add some wood chunks for extra smoke flava!

  • Cook until the chicken is a beautiful colour and proves 165F internal temperature.

  • To caramelise the skin, you can finish under the grill or on a BBQ flip
    the chicken on the coals.

  • For the salsa, peel the mango and slice around the big seed. Dice into 1 cm cubes
    and add to a bowl.

  • Add pomegranate seeds, diced bell pepper, spring onion and diced chilli. Add the lime juice and salt to taste. Dress with the chopped chives and coriander.

  • For the basmati rice, heat a saucepan with a tbsp of oil and stir the rice in, avoid
    burning. Add the hot water to cover only and stir. Watch the steam!

  • Add the salt and cover with a lid, remove from the heat. Wait 30 mins and stir. The rice should be cooked perfectly.

  • Add the drained can of black beans and any chopped coriander, chives and chilli you have left.

  • Squeeze the juice of a lime through the rice. Serve all together with lime wedges, extra
    hot sauce and beer!
