Cooking a whole chicken over indirect heat converts your barbecue into an oven, thus cooking the chicken through before the outside is charred.

Ingredients

  • 1 chicken, (about 4 lb/2 kg)
  • 1 small onion, quartered
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed

Preparation

Remove neck and giblets from chicken; pat chicken dry inside and out. Place onion and lemon half in cavity; sprinkle cavity with pinch each of the salt and pepper. Tie legs together with string; tuck wings under back.

Stir together lemon rind and juice, oil, fennel seeds and remaining salt and pepper; set aside.

Set foil drip pan under 1 burner of 2-burner barbecue or under centre burner of 3-burner barbecue. Set chicken on greased grill over drip pan. Heat remaining burner(s) to medium.

Brush chicken with one-third of the lemon mixture; close lid and grill for 20 minutes. Brush with half of the remaining lemon mixture; close lid and grill for 20 minutes.

Brush chicken with remaining lemon mixture; close lid and grill until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh registers 185°F (85°C), 40 to 60 minutes longer. Transfer to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before carving.
