Easy ways to cook Mutton Bird

This is a basic way to cook a muttonbird using basic camp side equipment. Step 1 Boil the mutton birds in a pot for 15mins to bring out the fat and salt as mutton birds are very fatty and salty. You can drain the fat forming at the top. Step 2 Coat it with salt and cook on high heat on the BBQ for around 15 minutes until golden brown. The oil will continue to drip out of the bird on the BBQ. Remember to flip the muttonbird to crisp the skin on all sides. Step 3 Add a bit of lemon or salt and pepper to the muttonbird to enhance the flavour. Enjoy the Mutton Bird!
