topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

    Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 8-10 fresh sprigs of thyme
  • 1 can (240 ml) of lemon-lime flavored beer

    Chicken

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the glaze:

    Combine honey, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, 120 ml of beer, a pinch of salt, and a lot more pepper than usual in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the liquid thickens slightly like a glaze, about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the chicken:

    Pat the chicken dry on all sides, then pat dry again. Rub the entire surface with oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Thread the chicken onto a beer can and place it in a small roasting pan.
  3. Preheat grill to 325°F (160°C) for indirect heat.
  4. Place the pan with the chicken on the rack over indirect heat and cook, basting the chicken with the glaze every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches approximately 150°F (68°C), about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  5. Remove and cover loosely with foil to rest the chicken and allow the internal temperature to reach 165°F (74°C), about 15 minutes. Carve the chicken and serve.
