\n\u00bd tsp chilli powder
\n\u00bd tsp English mustard powder
\n\u00bd tsp crushed garlic
\n\u00bd tsp smoked paprika
\n\u00bd tsp muscovado sugar
\n1 x 2kg\/4lb 4oz chicken, preferably free-range
\n160g\/5\u00bdoz butter
\npinch salt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the chicken, mix four tablespoons of the ale, the malt extract, chilli powder, mustard, garlic, smoked paprika and sugar together in a bowl to make a paste.<\/p>\n
Rub the paste all over the chicken and set aside to marinate for three hours. Pour over 500ml\/18fl oz of ale and leave to marinade overnight<\/p>\n
Preheat the barbecue (it is best to use a barbecue with a lid) or alternatively preheat the oven to 190C\/375F\/Gas 5.<\/p>\n
Rinse the marinade off the chicken and pat dry. Carefully smear the butter under the chicken skin and over the thighs and season with salt. Pour the 300ml\/10\u00bdfl oz ale into the reserved beer can, then carefully place the chicken onto the beer can, so that the chicken is sitting upright, with the can in its cavity.<\/p>\n
Roast the chicken for 40-45 minutes, basting a couple of times. Remove the chicken from the barbecue or oven and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
