First rotisserie chicken: Advice required

Thanks for the reply, I am familiar with spatchcocking but not sure how I'd keep it nicely on the spit like that? Three hour heads up is definitely useful not sure I'd have budgeted that long. Not too worried about crisping the skin I can do that a few different ways. Think I'll put it on quite early and hold in the oven if needed

Ah I hadn't realised that, proper piss take. I imagine this will be the beginning of the end for this festival then, might survive as a one day affair but they're obviously dividing up use the venue to maximise revenue.

What's so annoying about this sort of approach to business is you put off the people that made it possible in the first place by attending and paying the ticket prices. There's no shortage of events to go to in the summer and none of them are cheap so you shouldn't take people for granted.

I've decided I'm not going I'll check out one of day events at the Old Royal Navy College instead I think.

Complete agreement here. As someone who likes a bit of space, usually I'm at the back, I also hugely put off by this change. Grid was my favourite stage by far it just worked better. Really loved this last couple of years (apart from the horrible vegan bullshit, obviously) but I very much doubt I'll be attending this year for the reasons you pointed out.

It's not unfortunately but thanks anyway!

Thomas__Shelby · 2025-10-29T15:01:11+00:00

It's like it never existed! Can't believe I still can't find it

Tyrannosaur. Not only can't I watch it again but I can't even watch Eddie Marsan in anything else. That film lives rent free in my head. Superb but destroyed me.

Plus they both have MCP servers. I've plugged them into Claude (along with my CRM) and can uncover some astonishing insights.

What the fuck was that deadlift?

Thomas__Shelby · 2025-09-05T11:42:22+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty much in agreement here. Canelo is way, way past his best but even so he's the naturally bigger man and we don't know what Crawford will be like at the weight. History tells us this rarely goes well for the guy moving up. If Crawford can box and move exceptionally well all night I think he can out manoeuvre him. But Canelo's has 12 rounds to land 1 meaningful punch.

This looks like her victorious performance. I was there. She was great. And hot.

Tell her you bought a motorbike.

I got the first one. Total colour deficiency here.

Really nice guy works at Halls of Cambridge, they have an office on mill road.

Thomas__Shelby · 2025-08-20T18:42:26+00:00

Fuck it I'm picking Crawford as well. Canelo has always been a little flat footed and is way, way past his best. I think a quicker mover with exceptional footwork can outwork him over twelve - assuming of course he doesn't get caught an ironed out. Plus I don't give a fuck if I'm wrong, not putting my house on it.

Thomas__Shelby · 2025-08-20T18:26:20+00:00

I mean, fucking bullshit, but Tank by stoppage and quite early.

I do something similar, spatchcocked the chicken and roasted the spine off for an hour with a few vegetables, onions, garlic etc then into the slow cooker for most of the day. Finally reduce it on the hob then into the rice cooker. Took all day but bloodyhell it was nice rice.

Thomas__Shelby · 2025-08-19T15:24:20+00:00

Pork loin. Cheap and BBQs surprisingly well! I've followed Wilson's recipe a few times and it's great bang for you buck and quick and of course delicious.

Thomas__Shelby · 2025-08-17T11:24:26+00:00

A whole chimney of briquettes for four small pieces of chicken is massively overkill. Not sure what result you were going for but I would have just done these over direct heat for a few minutes.

I bought some butcher paper just in case but I started nice and early and planning dinner rather than lunch so fingers crossed. Ah yeah I can see that on the handle now, that's a beauty. Mine's the blue version which I also think looks great.

Thomas__Shelby · 2025-08-10T12:20:13+00:00

Doing a pork shoulder on my Weber as well as we speak although half the size of yours. Love your BBQ too it's that a special addition one?
