SQ-Easy Barbeque in London

As summer comes to an end, wanted to try and get in a few more BBQ’s in. So after a long day training in the gym for London 2012 Marathon ready to start cooking the meat.

The Day Before

The day before I did my BBQ I want to marinate the chicken, the chicken and marinate are from my current employer. I find marinates at Tesco and other supermarket chains to be very expensive, not great value for money and have to get a few bottles. I used SQ-easy Tomato Ketchup, SQ-easy BBQ Sauce and SQ-easy Very Hot Chilli Sauce. This are big bottels which can be stored away and the one you have opened can be kept in your home frige. I like to normally have two different flavours of chicken, one which is spicy (I love spicy food) and Barbeque based (and bit sweet)

I normally cut some small holes in the chicken to allow the chilly and bbq sauce to get in. I don’t use 100% of a single sauce. For my spicy chicken I mix 80% SQ-easy Very Hot Chilli Sauce and 10% Ketchup and 10% water. For my Barbeque/BBQ 80% SQ-easy BBQ Sauce, 10% SQ-easy Ketchup and 10% water. I then cover chicken and marinate place it in the fridge overnight.

The Sunday

I am really fussy about my charcoal. I will only use Restaurant grade charcoal. I normally go for BigK Restaurant Charcoal, 15kg box. My Barbecure is a Arhcway Barbecue Deluxe.

Cooking Chicken

Make sure always cook chicken correct, if your unsure cut a few extra holes and if still unsure 100% cookced you can just cut each bit in half.

Keep adding sauce


Keep adding more sauce



Make a hole in the middle to allow the heat to get inside.



If your not sure if its cooked, cut it in half.

The Beer

Dont over do the beer, or you will burn the food. Also dont over do the talking. Cooking a BBQ need 100% of your time, make sure got some one eles doing all the running around for you. Due to my turkish roots, I got for Efes Pilsener Premium Beer.

The Result

All the cooking is done, time to eat (1 hours of cooking, 10 mins of eatting)
