Will you be firing up your own smoker this festive season, or leaving it to the pros? 🥩🔥 Search “Butter-glazed smoked chicken” on taste.co.za or find the recipe below. 🍽️ 4- 6 🥣 20 minutes ⏲️ 2–2.5 hours 📌 Ingredients 1 whole free- range chicken (1.5–2 kg), spatchcocked 1 T olive oil 2 T coarse salt 1 T black pepper 2 t smoked paprika 2 t garlic powder 2 t onion powder 2 t brown sugar For the butter glaze: 100 g unsalted butter 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 T honey 1 lemon, juiced 1 t fresh thyme and rosemary (or 2 g dried) 📌 Method 1. Pat dry the chicken and rub with the olive oil. Mix the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and brown sugar. Coat the chicken inside and out with this mixture. 2.
