Method

Ingredients

- 1 whole chicken
- 1 can Dr Pepper
For the Rub
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper

Method

1

Clean and pat dry the chicken. Place on a baking sheet or platter.

2

In a small bowl, combine everything for the rub. Stir to combine. Rub it all over the chicken, under the skin and inside the bird. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3

Preheat the grill to 180°C. or If you have a 3 burner BBQ grill, only light the middle and 1 side burner, leaving the other off. If you have a 2 burner grill, only light 1 side. You will be cooking the chicken with indirect heat.

4

Open up a can of Dr. Pepper and pour out (or drink) 1/4 of the can. Carefully prop the bird up on the can, like it's sitting on it. Transfer the bird and can to the grill and close the lid. Cook for about an hour or until the chicken is cooked through.

5

Remove from the grill and discard the can. Carve up the chicken.
