LIDL shoppers can get a new BBQ tool for just £4 that will help you cook your chicken perfectly.
The Grillmeister Barbecue Chicken Roaster is landing in Lidl stores this Thursday as a middle aisle buy.
That means you'll need to act fast to snap it up as once it's gone, it's gone.
The BBQ tool costs just £3.99 and Lidl says it will help you get "perfectly cooked chicken" that's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
The accessory is made from stainless steel and is suitable for ovens and BBQs with lids.
It comes with a container for seasoning liquids as the chicken is flavoured during the barbecuing process.
The tool is also suitable for other types of poultry.
In comparison, Amazon has a chicken barbeque rack for a more expensive £6.99 while the Big Green Egg charges £20.
The Lidl deal comes just as the weather finally starts to heat up again.
A heatwave could hit parts of the UK this week as temperatures soar to highs of 29C, the Met Office has said.
The warm air is set to push temperatures as high as 29C by Friday.
More BBQ items will also be dropping in the Middle of Lidl this Thursday.

Government advice on BBQ safety
The UK Government have issued some guidelines for staying safe whilst using a barbecue:
Keep a bucket of water, sand or a garden hose nearby for emergencies.
Follow the safety instructions provided with your gas, charcoal, or disposable barbecue.
Never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan.
Use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, but not more (normally around 5cms or 2 inches).
Keep children, pets and garden games away from the cooking area.
After cooking, make sure the barbecue is cool before moving it.
Empty ashes onto bare garden soil, not into dustbins or wheelie bins. If they're hot, they can melt the plastic and cause a fire.
Make sure your barbecue is well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste.
In the countryside or public park areas, only use disposable barbecues where there are specially designated areas and carefully follow the safety guidance.
Enjoy yourself, but don't drink too much alcohol if you are in charge of the barbecue.
Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or starter fuels on cold coals.
