Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
  • Spice rub
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1½ tbsp smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • ¾ tbsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar

  • Hot sauce
  • 1 smallish chicken
  • 1 large pineapple
  • ½ a mango
  • 1 jalapeno, roughly chopped
  • 1 red chilli, roughly chopped
  • 1 cooked onion
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 150ml white vinegar
  • 150ml water
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/360°F.
  2. Mix together all the ingredients for the dry rub and massage into the chicken with a little oil.
  3. Take the pineapple and cut off the leaves. Take a sharp knife and carefully cut a ring around an inch from the base, going about an inch into the pineapple. Place the pineapple on its base and cut down, allowing the slices of flesh to fall away leaving a central column.
  4. Ease the chicken cavity first onto the pineapple column so it stands proud on its legs. Surround it by the (deskinned) pineapple flesh, sprinkle with oil and roast for an hour, until cooked through. Cover with foil if necessary to prevent burning.
  5. When done, take the roasted pineapple chunks and all ingredients for the hot sauce and blend until smooth.
  6. Serve the chicken, jointed, with chips and lashings of the sauce.
  7. Yum!
