Karachi "Bam" Chicken

Cooked "Karachi Bam Chicken" a few weekends ago. It was delicious! One of the smartest aspects of this recipe is to reserve some of the dry rub and garnish the final dish with it - it adds a nice punch (or “Bam”!).

I followed the methods and recipe of the original cook as much as I could. Unfortunately, the butcher didn't spatchcock the chicken properly so I ended up doing chicken halves. I cooked it raised direct with skin side down for 15 minutes and then indirect skin side up until internal temp was 165. Temp on big green egg was around 350-400. I have to say: Fogo Super Premium lump have massive pieces!!!

Looks good!

Interesting website. Bookmarked and will be trying some of those recipes myself.

Personally, I prefer chicken halves to spatchcocking. Just find them easier to deal with and maneuver/arrange on the grill and afterwards.

That chicken sounds and looks legit!

Thanks for the link to the website. I think I see some of my future cooks coming from there

That looks really good. And great that it uses fairly basic spices. Nothing to run out and buy.

I agree about chicken halves. Perfect size to grab with tongs

That's what I like about it too. Most of the other recipes on our blog require ingredients not available in usual grocery stores.

Karachi Bam chicken wings. I used the same marinade as above. Cooked indirect on my XL BGE for about an hour with pecan wood chunks

Those look great - I need to make a batch

Made too many of those wings so had leftovers. Last night, I patted with butter and reheated in the oven. Then tossed with Frank's hot sauce. These were even more delicious thank the original! Layered flavors: hot sauce, then smokiness, then tandoori
