Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 1 chicken, about 1,2 - 1,4 kg
  • 7-10 Tbsp For the Rub
  • 2 TEASPOONS Paprika powder, sweet
  • 1 TEASPOON Paprika powder, hot
  • 1 TEASPOON Pepper, grinding/milled
  • 1 TABLESPOON Sea salt
  • 1 TEASPOON Oregano, dried
  • 1 TEASPOON Thyme, dried
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 7-10 Tbsp For the Beer-Can mix
  • 1 can(s) beer - we had a Pils, but black beer is certainly also interesting
  • 1 Lemon
  • 4 Stem fresh thyme
  • 3 garlic cloves, with skin

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven (top and bottom heat) to 230°.

  2. 2

    Wash the chicken and pat dry, no offal is needed. Mix the spices for the rub in a bowl and rub the chicken completely. If you brush the chicken with some olive oil beforehand (approx. 1 tbsp.), the dry marinade will stick better.

  3. 3

    Then put the rooster aside and let the Rub take effect.

  4. 4

    Pour away or drink half of the beer and place the can in the middle of a wide (round) bowl. Wash the lemon well, cut it in half and squeeze one half. Add the juice to the beer in the can - watch out, it foams! Also put the garlic and the thyme, which has been washed naturally beforehand, into the can.

  5. 5

    I also added 2 small slices of the remaining lemon.

  6. 6

    Now it is time to put the chicken on the beer can and put it with the shell into the oven. Now roast the chicken at 230° for 10 minutes, then turn down to 165° and cook in the oven for another 50 - 60 minutes.

  7. 7

    Then take the dish out of the oven (again, skill is required) and remove the tin from the chicken - we chose the rough, albeit somewhat unclean, multi-towel and pot cloth solution.

  8. 8

    Place the chicken on a plate/plate/wood board, divide it with a large knife/poultry shears and put it on the table.
