Cooking Instructions:
-
Preparation: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Canadian whisky, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside this flavorful basting sauce for later use.
-
-
Grill Setup: Preheat your BBQ grill to high heat. If using a gas grill, ignite only one burner. This setup will allow for indirect cooking.
-
Searing the Lamb: Grease the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking. Place the leg of lamb on the grill and sear it on all sides. This process should take approximately 7-10 minutes, resulting in a beautifully browned exterior.
-
Basting and Cooking: After searing, turn off the burner directly under the lamb and switch on the other burner to medium heat. Brush the lamb generously with the prepared basting sauce, coating it evenly.
-
Grilling: Close the lid of the grill and continue cooking the lamb, turning and basting it occasionally. Maintain this cooking process for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches between 155-160°F (68-71°C). This slow and steady grilling ensures tender and flavorful meat.
-
Resting and Serving: Once cooked to perfection, carefully transfer the lamb to a cutting board. Cover it loosely with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This resting period helps redistribute the juices, resulting in moist and succulent meat. After resting, slice the lamb and serve it as desired.
Enjoy this delectable BBQ lamb infused with the rich flavors of Canadian whisky, perfect for any occasion! Whether served as the main course for dinner or tucked into a bun with your favorite toppings, this dish is sure to impress. 🍖🔥
