1 meat thermometer

Directions

Prepare the barbecue for indirect grilling.
Open the can of ginger beer and take a big sip. Dab the chicken dry with kitchen paper and spread around with the 5-herb powder.
Carefully slide the chicken over the beer can. Pull the two legs apart, so that the can and the legs together form a tripod.
Put the chicken with the can on the coolest part of the barbecue grill. Turn the chest to the warmest part and place the lid on the barbecue.
Grill the chicken for approx. 45 min.
Brush the chicken around with the hoisin sauce and grill for about 15 minutes with the lid on the barbecue. Turn the chicken occasionally.
Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. If the thighs have a core temperature of 75 ° C, the chicken is cooked.
Take the chicken with the can of the barbecue and rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the hot can and divide the chicken into pieces.
