Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 quarts water
1 lime, juiced
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ (12 ounce) can beer

Steps:

  • Dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in water in a large bowl and stir in lime juice. Soak chicken in the mixture for 10 minutes; rinse and pat chicken dry with paper towels. Pierce the chicken all over with a fork to make many tiny holes.
  • Stir vinegar, cumin, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, paprika, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, soy sauce, and black pepper in a small bowl; mix in enough beer to form a paste, about 2 tablespoons. Retain remaining beer in the can.
  • Rub spice paste all over the chicken, beneath the skin, and inside cavity; refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat; a grill thermometer should read 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with the lid closed.
  • Sit the chicken upright on the partially-filled can of beer and extend drumsticks to the grill surface to form a tripod shape to hold up the chicken.
  • Grill chicken with the lid closed until the skin is brown and crisp and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast, not touching bone, reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
