Mexican Beer Chicken Soft Shell Tacos

Instructions

In the kitchen:

• 01
  First make the rub for the chicken by finely grinding all the ingredients in a pestle and mortar.
• 02
  Lightly oil the exterior of the chicken and evenly coat with the rub.
• 03
  Half fill the GBS Poultry roaster cup with the beer followed by the lime wedges and chilli.
• 04
  Place the chicken onto the GBS Poultry Roaster cup, making sure the chicken is stable and upright. Cut a wedge of the remaining lime and plug the neck cavity of the chicken. This will help keep all the scented steam in the carcass and stop it from escaping.
• 05
  If desired, a selection of lightly oiled and seasoned mixed peppers can be added to the base of the GBS Poultry Roaster at this point.
• 06
  Wash the coriander.
• 07
  Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips.
• 08
  Finely dice the onion.
• 09
  Cut the lime into wedges.

At the barbecue:

• 01
  Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 180°C. If using a charcoal barbecue, you need ½ chimney starter of lit briquettes.
• 02
  Roast the chicken over an indirect medium heat for approximately 1 hour 10mins or until the meat has reached 75°c. It is recommended to probe the meat with an instant read or iGrill Thermometer.
