Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, juice from the lemon, salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and chili flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, ensure the coals are evenly lit and ashed over.

  2. 4

    Beer Can Method

    Open the can of beer and drink or discard half. Place the can inside the chicken cavity. This will allow the chicken to steam from the inside while cooking.

  3. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken on the grill, standing upright on the beer can. Close the grill lid and cook for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rotate the chicken every 30 minutes for even cooking.

  4. 6

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This helps retain the juices.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Carve the chicken and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs and any additional spices.
