1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

For the paste

Lemon zest from 2 lemons

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided

4 sprigs fresh rosemary

1/4 cup dry white wine

1 whole lemon, thinly sliced (optional)

Method

Remove the loose, papery outer skin from the head of garlic. Cut about 1/2-inch off the top to expose the cloves.

Place on a large square of aluminium foil. Drizzle the olive oil over the cloves. Fold up the foil sides and seal to make a packet, leaving a little room for the expansion of steam.

Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the cloves are soft, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the garlic from the grill and allow to cool. Squeeze the garlic from the individual cloves into a small bowl.

To make the paste: In the bowl with the garlic, combine the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, rosemary, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Remove and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Loosen the chicken skin gently with your fingers and spread half of the paste under the skin on the breast. Season the inside of the chicken cavity with salt and pepper and add the rosemary sprigs.

Truss the chicken with cotton string. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and the wine into the cavity.

Coat the outside surface of the chicken with the other half of the paste, pressing it into the skin.

Grill the chicken, breast side up, over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170

Souchong Tea-Smoked Chicken Wings

Ingredients

3 pounds Chicken wings — (16 wings)

3 Cl Garlic

1 tablespoon Ginger root — grated

1 tablespoon Honey

3/4 cup Soy sauce

1/2 cup Sherry

1 cup Brown sugar

1 cup Lapsang souchong tea — (loose

Sesame seeds — for garnish

Method

1. Using a knife, separate the mini drumstick end of the wing and slice through between the joints. Cut the wing tip off and discard. (any good butcher will do this for you.) Wash the chicken thoroughly and pat dry.

2. Using the metal blade of your processor, finely chop the garlic.

Add the grated ginger root, honey, soy sauce, and sherry, processing for  20 to 30 seconds to blend. Pour the marinade in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, and add the chicken wings. With a spoon, drizzle the marinade over all the wings. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, rotating the chicken wings at least once.

3. To smoke the chicken, choose a heavy steel or cast iron roasting pan or skillet with a tight fitting lid. Line the bottom of the pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Sprinkle the brown sugar and tea on top of the foil.

Place a cake rack in the skillet, over the sugar and tea mixture, and arrange the chicken wings on the rack.

Cover the pan or skillet with a lid (or heavy aluminum foil if the lid does not fit snugly). Turn on your kitchen exhaust fan. Turn the burner on high, and leave chicken on high heat for 30 minutes (see Note). Do not  remove the lid to check. Turn off the heat after 30 minutes, and keep the chicken covered another 20 minutes.

Smoked chicken will keep for several days if well-wrapped and refrigerated.

Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer.

Note: As with any recipe requiring a dish to be cooked at high heat, use caution. Since this dish does produce smoke, it is imperative to use your kitchen exhaust fan, and to have a pan or skillet with a tight fitting

lid.

NOTES: Smoking with tea is a traditional Chinese approach to preparing chicken. To the Western eye, the darkened skin resembles Cajun-style cuisine. These flavorful, bite-size chicken wings make a delicious appetizer when served plain, or with your favorite mustard, peanut or teriyaki sauce.
