Explore The Rabbit chef Declan Donnolly's top tips on a successful BBQ to impress family & friends this Summer!

1. The best tip for a good BBQ is all in the preparation. Marinating your meat and poultry in advance (maybe that morning, or the day before) gives a more in depth flavour.

2. Different types of coals provide a better smoke depending on the meat. I would use a medium heat to slowly cook your meat, because if it’s too hot you can end up with too much char before the meat is fully cooked.

3. Basting every now and again adds even more flavour and it’s a great idea to use a bunch of fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary as your basting brush.

4. Don't forget, a good BBQ also relies on the side dishes. Baked potatoes wrapped in foil cooked perfectly, a sweetcorn salsa or potato salad is a tasty option and buttered corn on the cob is also a great addition.
