Our BBQ Maple Oil-Based Marinade is a luxurious blend that combines the rich sweetness of maple syrup with bold, smoky spices. This rapeseed oil-based marinade boasts a deep red colour with visible flecks of paprika and onion granules, adding a visually enticing touch to its irresistible flavour. Crafted to enhance every cut of meat, it infuses a deep, caramelized flavour while the oil base ensures tenderness and juiciness in every bite. An ideal accompaniment to pork, chicken, or even hearty beef cuts, this marinade delivers a mouthwatering glaze that’s both sweet and smoky.

Method

Take your knife and butterfly your chicken breast out so its all even
Roughly chop your apricots and pomegranates and stuff inside your butterflied chicken breast
Fold your chicken breast over and tuck all your fillings in so they dont fall out
Brush all over your AVO Lafiness BBQ Maple Marinade at a usage rate of 8 – 10%
Wrap your chicken breast all over with your chosen bacon
Cut your puff pastry so you have a square big enough so you have room either side of the chicken breast once on top of the puff pastry square
Fold your puff pastry over the stuffed chicken breast & push down so all the air can escape
Crimp around the chicken breast either using a fork or hand crimping method
Trim off any excess pastry & then all over brush on your AVO Lafiness BBQ Maple Marinade at a usage rate of 8 – 10%
