Ingredients
1 Whole chicken, butterflied
Marinade
¼ pineapple, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 lemongrass stalk
2 lime leaves
2 coriander stalks
2 Birdseye chilli
1 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 lime juice
Garnish
½ bunch coriander, leaves picked

1 lime leaf, sliced thinly
3 sprigs of curry leaf, leaves fried
2 limes, halved and grilled
METHOD
In a blender combine the marinade ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pour half the marinade over the chicken and rub all over to ensure it's evenly marinated. Leave to marinade for at least 6 hours.
Heat a BBQ to smoke. Brush the skin of the chicken with some oil. Place skinside down on the BBQ and cook until caramelised. Flip onto the underside and turn the heat down to medium. Baste the skin side and cook until the chicken is ready. Remove from the BBQ and brush the underside with the last of the marinade. Leave to rest.
In a bowl mix the salad.
Carve the chicken into 10 pieces and serve on a platter. Top with the herbs and an extra sprinkle of sea salt.
