    Rub vigorously with the spice mixture. Wrap the drumstick tightly in cling film and chill overnight.

  3. 3

    Wash the potatoes and cook for about 20 minutes. Clean, wash and roughly dice the peppers. Leek onions clean, wash. Halve the bacon slices lengthwise. Wrap the spring onions individually.

  4. 4

    Drain the potatoes and let them drip off. Chill everything.

    Mix 50 g butter and honey and chill. Wash lemon hot, grate dry and grate peel thinly. Squeeze the juice from 1⁄2 lemon. Knead 50 g butter, lemon juice and zest and breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Season to taste with salt and pepper. Form into a roll, wrap in cling film and chill.

    The next day and about 3 hours before eating, prepare a kettle grill for the indirect grilling method. Cover the leg and grill for 2 1⁄2-3 hours. Add briquettes after each approx. 1 hour.

    Wash the rosemary and shake dry. Cut the potatoes in half. Mix with paprika, rosemary, 2 tsp. salt and oil. Put spring onions and potatoes in grill trays.
