- 1 chicken between 1.5 and 2 kg (3.3 and 4.4 lbs) from Ferme des Voltigeurs
- 60 ml (4 tbsp.) prepared yellow mustard
- 40 ml (2 ½ tbsp.) salted butter
- 5 ml (1 tsp.) salt
- 5 ml (1 tsp.) ground pepper

MUSTARD AND BUTTER MIXTURE

- Put salt, pepper and half an onion in the cavity of the chicken.
- Skewer the chicken and attach the metal ties to hold the chicken firmly.
- Place on BBQ and brush generously with mustard and butter mixture (if mixture is too thick, reheat in microwave).
- Place a metal container under the chicken to catch the grease. If the BBQ has a side (back) burner, no need to add water to the container. If the BBQ does not have a side burner, add water to the container and make sure there is always water.

EASY STEPS TO STRING UP THE CHICKEN
