Smoked herb chicken recipe

Humans have been eating smoked meat since pre-historic times, but its nutritious benefits have been stressed upon only recently. Smoked foods have become a rage because of their delicious raw taste, their capability to keep all nutrients intact and their low fat content. Most of the forms of cooking take away the proteins of the food, but smoked meat remains protein rich while remaining tasty.

More and more people are opting for smoked food in Bangalore because it does not require extra fat in sauces and other preparatory ingredients. Also, smoking reduces the fat already present in the food because much of it is dripped out during preparation. Smoked food is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which in moderate quantities is really good for health. Once you develop a taste for smoked meat, it’s really hard to resist eating it frequently.

If you are a chicken lover, you can always visit a restaurant like Smokehouse Deli which serves smoked chicken in Bangalore, but the good news is you can also prepare yummy smoked herb chicken at home. For the ingredients you will need, 1 full chicken, 3 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, 1 tablespoon fresh basil and 1 tablespoon of fresh basil.


Preparation:

*Preheat an outdoor grill on low heat.

*Clean the chicken properly inside out and dry by patting.

*Loosen the skin around the breast areas.

*Add butter under the skin uniformly.

*Chop all the herbs finely and place some of them under the skin and the rest inside the chicken.

*Use the smoke of the outdoor grill to cook the chicken for about four hours.

*Check if it’s cooked properly by poking the chicken with a fork. If no juices flow out it means it is ready to eat.
