  1. Glazed BBQ Pork Tenderloin by BBQ Explorers

    Comments Off on Glazed BBQ Pork Tenderloin by BBQ Explorers

    Juicy, flavour-packed and irresistibly smoky, this BBQ pork tenderloin recipe is a showstopper for summer gatherings or weekend feasts. Each tenderloin is rubbed in a bold blend of spices, then wrapped in streaky bacon for added richness and crisp texture. The finishing touch? A sticky-sweet glaze made with apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and fresh rosemary, brushed on during the final stage of cooking to create a beautifully caramelised coating. Cooked over indirect heat on the BBQ until perfectly done, this dish serves six and pairs wonderfully with seasonal veg or a crisp salad.

  4. Smoked Chicken in a Creamy Apple, Bacon and Cider Sauce by BBQ Explorers

    Comments Off on Smoked Chicken in a Creamy Apple, Bacon and Cider Sauce by BBQ Explorers

    This dish is simple to create outdoors and packed with rich, comforting flavour. Smoking the chicken over applewood and cooking it on the BBQ adds a subtle depth that makes the whole meal. It’s a perfect one-pan recipe for a relaxed yet impressive outdoor cook.

    For this recipe, Neal used our newest addition, the Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Chef’s Pan, which is ideal for outdoor cooking thanks to its durable BBQ-safe stainless steel build and excellent heat distribution. It handled the smoky BBQ heat with ease!


    Ingredients

    • 2 chicken breasts
    • 4 rashers of smoked bacon, roughly chopped
    • 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
    • 1 apple, thinly sliced
    • 250ml apple cider
    • 150ml dry sherry
    • 150ml of double cream
    • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme
    • Salt & pepper
    • 70g unsalted butter
    • Your choice of vegetables

    Equipment

    • Stainless Steel tri-ply Chef’s Pan
    • Chopping Board

    Cooking Method

    1. Prepare your BBQ for indirect cooking and heat to 180°C.
    2. Add the chicken breasts to the grill and pour a handful of wood chips directly onto the coals. We went for apple wood as it adds a delicate smoky flavour. Don’t cook the chicken all the way through. Probably to a temperature around 60°C. Remove from the grill and keep warm.
    3. Add the bacon rashers to the grill and cook for a few minutes over direct heat, and remove.
    4. Next, add the unsalted butter to the chef’s pan and heat over the coals.
    5. Add the sliced onions and cook until soft. Next, add the dry sherry and cider, and cook until it has reduced by half.
    6. Add the bacon, apple, and thyme, stir, and cook for one minute.
    7. Stir in the double cream and add the smoked chicken. Let it simmer for a few minutes and remove from the BBQ once the chicken hits an internal temperature of 75°C.
    8. Serve with your favourite vegetables. Neal went for parmentier potatoes, mange tout, and broccoli.

    Cooking Method

    1. Firstly, add the buttermilk, salt, pepper and grated ginger to a bowl and then mix well.
    2. Next, add the 4 chicken thighs to the mixture, and then cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
    3. To make the slaw, mix all the ingredients together and place in the fridge.
    4. Prepare your BBQ for indirect/direct cooking over charcoal. Leave a gap in the charcoal so that the heat isn’t directly under the chicken.
    5. In a pan (we used our ProWare Kitchen milk pan) add all the ingredients and then stir over a low heat until you have a syrupy consistency. Take off the BBQ, strain and then set aside.
    6. In a large bowl mix together the cornflour, plain flour smoked paprika, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, and onion salt.
    7. On the BBQ (we used our ProWare Kitchen sauté pan) add the rapeseed oil. Heat up the pan over the charcoal to a temperature of around 170C/180C. Do not fill any higher than two thirds of the height of the chicken thighs.
    8. Reheat the BBQ sauce.
    9. Toss the chicken thighs in the flour mix and cover well. Next, fry the chicken in batches of two until they reach an internal temperature of 80C, and turn them once when cooking. Remove and leave to cool for a few minutes on kitchen roll.
    10. Finally, toast your brioche buns and then place some slaw on the base of the bun, add the crispy chicken and drizzle with the tasty sauce. Enjoy!!
