Amazingly you can create this on the BBQ!! (or in the oven we guess ;) Served up with corn, slaw and dipping gravy this recipe will deliver righteousness, crispiness and moans of pleasure to your table!Ingredients

Chicken:

500ml Buttermilk

12 Pieces of bone in chicken thighs, legs or boneless thighs, or lots of wings!

Red HOT Chilli Sauce (Minnies)

30g HOT & HOSTILE BBQ Rub

Flour mix:

500g Plain white flour

2 heavy teaspoons of baking powder

80g  Hot & Hostile Rub

Directions
Get some chicken!  Skin on thighs, boneless thighs, and whole bone in thighs. Who knew there were so many kinds of thighs! skin the thighs.
Get some buttermilk (if you can’t get any, try mixing natural yoghurt and milk to a smooth consistency). Put the liquid into a large bowl or ziplock bag and add some hot sauce and HOT AND HOSTILE seasoning. We think it's pretty close to The Colonels' original!
Put the chicken pieces into the liquid, making sure all are covered. Let it sit overnight to soak up the goodness.
Add 500g plain flour and 75g of Hot & Hostile for extra spicy chicken!
Add 2 heaped tea spoons of baking powder, which helps the chicken crisp up. Mix the dry ingredients well.
Here, you can add a few tablespoons of the buttermilk marinade to the dry ingredients and mix through to form small lumps of flour that will stick to the chicken and make epic crispy nuggets.
Add the wet chicken to the dry mix, a couple of pieces at a time, and press down to ensure full flour coverage. Set on a wire rack and allow the buttermilk to soak the flour mix.
If you check the chicken after 30 minutes, you’ll see wet spots where the flour has been soaked.
Sprinkle some flour mix over the wet spots and maximise the flour coverage. Allow to set up and harden in the fridge for at least a few hours. Letting the chicken coating harden up will stop the pieces from getting stuck too much to the grill on the BBQ.
Light your BBQ or (ahem) turn on your oven. We have been using the Vortex attachment for our BBQ, which accelerates air through charcoal and obtains a BBQ temp of > 400°F towards 500°F (200-260 °c). (200-260C °C). You can also use the side baskets from a Weber grill or any central charcoal holder. Anyway, get the BBQ as good and hot as you can. Set the chicken away from the hot coals and around the Vortex.
Add a lump of hickory wood or your favourite smoking wood for extra flavour. Add this above the heat source so it smoulders away during the cook.
With the chicken on, close the lid and watch the temperature climb to at least 400°F. After 15 minutes, check the chicken to see what's happening. Look for the chicken to start to colour.
Once the flour has started to harden and cook, spray a little oil onto the surface and close the lid for another 10-15 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the chicken should be ready to turn.
The bottom may stick to the grills, but it should be minimal if you leave the pieces to harden up a little. Turn the chicken and spray the top side with oil. Close the lid and inspect 15 minutes later. You're looking for excellent golden chicken! Probe with a probe to ensure a 75 °C internal temp.
Cook the chicken until it starts to colour. Once the flour hardens, spray a little oil, close the lid, and cook for another 10-15 minutes. 

After 30 minutes, turn the chicken, spray the top with oil, and close the lid for 15 more minutes. Aim for a golden colour with a Thermapen to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 75°C.

Why go long when you go round, are we right?! This sausage roll wheel brings some festive fun to the table, with Pigasus, punchy jalapenos, cheddar and onion elevating this Christmas classic to new heights. Serve it with our Red House BBQ Sauce and watch it get demolished by your crew.

Ingredients
800g pork sausage meat (or good-quality pork sausages) skins removed
3 tbsp Pigasus seasoning
1 small onion, chopped

1 cup of mature cheddar, grated
1 cup of cured jalapenos, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 x 320g sheets ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
Nigella seeds

Directions
1. Prepare the filling: In a food processor, blitz the onion, cheddar and jalapenos before adding the pork sausage meat with the Pigasus seasoning, and parsley.

2. Roll the pastry: Unroll the ready-rolled puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, placing them side by side lengthways (longest edge facing you). Push the edges of the sheets together to form one long sheet and roll into a rectangle about 40cm x 30cm.

3. Assemble the sausage rolls: Spoon the sausage roll mixture onto the centre of the pastry and shape into a long sausage-like log.

4. Wrap and seal: Brush the edges of the pastry with a little beaten egg, then fold it over the sausage meat to enclose it, keeping it close to the meat to avoid air pockets. Press the edges together to seal, then curve the sausage roll into a circular shape, sealing the ends together.

5. Cut and glaze: Lift the sausage roll onto a lined baking tray. Brush with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with nigella seeds. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes.

6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Bake the sausage rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp, and the sausage meat is cooked through.

7. Serve: Place the baking sheet straight on the table and serve with Minnie's BBQ Sauce.
