Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken
Kosher salt
ground black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons madras curry powder or your favorite spice mix
Hot sauce, to taste
1 can beer
1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
2 large red, orange or yellow bell peppers, quartered and deseeded
Olive oil
Lime wedges, for serving
Chopped basil, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for indirect heat: if using gas, heat one side to medium high for 10 minutes, leaving other side off. If using charcoal, mound and light coals on one side.
  • Season chicken generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Mix mayonnaise with spices and hot sauce to taste. Slather all but 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise mixture over chicken, including cavity.
  • Open beer and drink or pour out half. Lower chicken over can so that can is inside chicken cavity. Chicken should be upright. Place chicken on unlit side and cover grill. Cook for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss potatoes with remaining mayonnaise and a pinch of salt. Toss peppers with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • When chicken has cooked for 30 minutes, set potatoes on grill, also on unlit side. If using charcoal, add more coals. Let both cook for 30 minutes more. When done, potatoes should be soft and golden; chicken skin should be brown (around 75 minutes, depending on your grill). If necessary, move both to lighted side to brown further.
  • When chicken is done, very carefully remove can (hold chicken with tongs and use an oven mitt to pull out can). Let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill peppers for about 2 to 3 minutes each side.
  • Carve chicken and garnish with lime wedges and basil before serving with potatoes and peppers.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beer. I always have a few cans of beer in the fridge that I don't know what to do with. This recipe is a great way to use them up and make a delicious meal at the same time.

This recipe is perfect for a summer cookout. I like to grill the chicken instead of roasting it. It's just as delicious, and it's a nice change of pace.

I like to add a few extra vegetables to the roasting pan, such as carrots, celery, and onions. It's a great way to get a healthy meal on the table with minimal effort.
