Recipe 1 Mexican Beer Chicken Image
  • 1kg whole free-range chicken
  • 1 tbs. rapeseed oil
  • 1 bottle Mexican beer (Corona)
  • 2 wedges of lime
  • 1 split red chilli

Rub

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp soft brown sugar
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp cumin, seeds ground
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Special Equipment

  • Poultry Roaster

Instructions

    In the kitchen:

  • First make the rub for the chicken by finely grinding all the ingredients in a pestle and mortar.
  • Lightly oil the exterior of the chicken and evenly coat with the rub.
  • Half fill the GBS Poultry roaster cup with the beer followed by the lime wedges and chilli.
  • Place the chicken onto the GBS Poultry Roaster cup, making sure the chicken is stable and upright. Cut a wedge of the remaining lime and plug the neck cavity of the chicken. This will help keep all the scented steam in the carcass and stop it from escaping.
  • If desired, a selection of lightly oiled and seasoned mixed peppers can be added to the base of the GBS Poultry Roaster at this point.
  • At the barbecue:

  • Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 180°C. If using a charcoal barbecue, you need ½ chimney starter of lit briquettes.
  • Roast the chicken over an indirect medium heat for approximately 1 hour 10mins or until the meat has reached 75°c. It is recommended to probe the meat with an instant read or iGrill Thermometer.
