Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Light the Braai. Once the coals are hot move to the side for indirect heat and put on the lid. Get up to about 180c

Flatten the whole garlic cloves. Stuff the chicken with half of the bay leafs and garlic and place the others on top. Season
* Step 3
Wrap the chicken in muslin and tie with string
* Step 4
In a pan create a bed of hay. Place the chicken on top and moisten the hay by pouring in the cider. Tuck all the hay in so it doesn’t overhang and catch fire 🔥

Halfway through cooking flip the chicken and pour in more cider to keep moist
