  • 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.
