Ingredients Serving: 5

1 x 1.5 kg chicken
1 500ml can of strong beer
For Marinade
1 heaped tsp of fennel seeds
1tsp Cumin seeds
1tsp smoked paprika
1tsp brown sugar
1tsp chilli powder
Sea Salt
2tsp black pepper powder
3tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C .
Bring the chicken to room temperature
In a pestle and mortar, bash up the fennel, cumin seeds, paprika, brown sugar, chilli powder,sea salt and black pepper.
Stir in 3 tablespoons of oil until you get a paste
Now drizzle all over the chicken, inside and out, using your hands to make sure you get it into all the nooks and crannies.
Crack open the beer, and pour it in a can till it is just about half full.
Then lower the chicken’s cavity on to the top of the can so it looks as though the chicken is sitting on the can.
Carefully sit the chicken on the very bottom of the oven.
Cook for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the meat pulls away from the bone and the juices run clear. If this isn’t the case (all ovens are slightly different) just cook for a bit longer.
Once done, carefully remove the can and loosely cover the chicken
