4. Apply the Peri Peri seasoning to your chicken

5. Allow your chicken to rest for 5 minutes to allow the rub to adhere

6. Add your chicken to the rotisserie basket and get it on the jumbuck mini spit with your hardwood lump charcoal lit and ready to go! The chicken should take around 45 minutes to an hour depending on the heat of the charcoal.

7. Cut up some potatoes and season with Peri Peri Rub. Get them into the rotisserie tumbler cage and get them onto a mini spit. Pro-tip: you can parboil your spuds before spit roasting to help speed up the process.

8. Prepare your corn by pouring the leftover olive oil and peri-peri rub mixture over them. Place them directly over the coals and cook until they are beautifully charred. When cooking corn over charcoal, it is best to turn the corn every 2 seconds or so so it doesn't burn. This is where the automatic rotating skewers on the Cyprus Grill make life easier.

9. Probe your chicken, once you hit 75° Celsius or 165° Fahrenheit it's time to take it off!

10. When your chips are golden and crunchy it's time to take them off and serve with the corn and chicken!
