DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Using a conventional charcoal
grill, prepare coals at least 30 minutes before barbecuing. Stack briquets in a pyramid shape and light. For added smoky flavor place
mesquite, hickory, oak, apple, or cherry wood among briquets just before roaster is placed on grill. To prevent flare-ups, place a heavy aluminum or foil pan in center of grill. Position
cooking grid about 6 to 8 inches above coals. Cover roaster with grill lid or tent made from foil.

|
2:
Remove giblets and leaf fat from
roaster; rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle inside
and out with salt (if desired) and
pepper; tie wings and legs close to
body. Plan to grill roaster 15 minutes
per pound. If faster cooking is desired,
split bird in half using a heavy, sharp edged
chefs knife.

3:
Basting sauce: In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; beat well until thick. After 30 minutes grilling time, turn roaster and
brush with sauce. Cover and continue grilling, turning and brushing with sauce every 15 minutes, until done.
