Instructions

  1. For the brine, mix 3 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, bay leaves, cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, oregano, onion, honey, soy sauce, white pepper and the lemon with the orange juice and soak the chicken for 24 hours.
  2. For the dry marinade, mix 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon celery salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon marjoram, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon mustard powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon brown sugar.
  3. The next day, dab the chicken and rub it with the dry marinade. Insert the beer can or another suitable vessel 2/3 full of beer into the chicken rectally. Place on the beer can and in the closed kettle grill or in the oven at 180-200 degrees for about 45-60 minutes.
  4. Ideally, prick the breast fillet with the temperature probe and set the core temperature to 72 degrees.
  5. The brine and the evaporating beer make the chicken tender and juicy.
