Well two halves really, while most of you were in you were a bed, I was busy at the grill. Chicken cut in half, seasoned with home mixed Butt Rub and coated with BBQ sauce. Cabbages have been on sale this week and have been so cheap so I thought it time to try some on the grill. As the grill was all hotted up I chopped up some potatoes and dropped them on as well - dinner for two cooked on the Kettle!!

Knock knock

Chicken looks excellent and very tasty, How was the cabbage ? Never tried that before?

Looks great, how did it taste?
Cheers

The taste test -

Chicken was pretty darn good, I have cooked lots of halved chickens now and have pretty much got it cracked, just like to play with different flavors, the Butt Rub gives it a bit of kick which sort of sneaks up on you after the sweetness of the BBQ sauce, the sauce was a mix of the two in the picture, they having been lurking in the fridge for a while and need using up.

The cabbage was a new one for me, cooked naked on the grill ( the cabbage not me!!) Salt and pepper with a wipe over of Italian Dressing, the bottom got well charred and was lost to the cause, turned out crisp to the bite which makes a change to soggy boiled stuff, would recommend using a Savoy Cabbage so that the dressing can seep into the folds between the leaves. The Cabbage I had was so tight that nothing stood a chance of getting inside - will try wrapping it in foil next time.

Potatoes turn out nice - not as good as a good old English roasty but they pass muster, again just playing with the seasonings, Cajun next time round I think.

Going to try a Spatchcocked chicken later in the week, feeling in the mood for a herb based flavor and see how it turns out.
