Napoleon AS300K1 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Pesto  (You may also use ready-made pesto)

3  cups fresh basil leaves (loosely packed)

3 tbsp. lightly toasted pine nuts

2 cloves roughly chopped garlic

½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

pop all the ingredients into a blender and blend until you have a paste.

Rub  (Use Napoleon

®

 Chicken & Rib spice if you want to skip this step).

1 tbsp. course sea salt

1½  tbsp. cracked pepper corns

1 tbsp. dried rosemary

1 tbsp. dried oregano

1 tbsp. ground coriander

If you like a bit of a “kick”, add some crushed chili. Mix all the ingredients by hand 

in a mixing bowl.

1 large, preferably free range chicken, refrigerated / if previously frozen, thaw in 

refrigerator or under cold water.

Preparation -  Loosen the skin of the chicken and using a spoon, insert the pesto 

between the skin and flesh. Once you have a few spoonfuls in place, massage the 

bird until the pesto is evenly distributed. Take a bit of the left over pesto and rub 

it all over the outside, then sprinkle on your prepared rub (the pesto will help it 

to stick).

Place the bird on the cooking grill of your smoker (the smoker has been set up 

for water smoking and the charcoal has a light grey colour). Close the lid, open 

the bottom door and throw on some wood for smoke flavour. With the smoker 

running at between 200°F and 250°F the bird should be done in around 3½ hours. 

Remember to use a probe thermometer to check if it’s done. 

Tip – Let the chicken “rest” for at least 10 minutes before carving.
