  • 1 can beer, divided, (12 oz / 330 ml)
  • ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 whole chicken, (about 2 kilo / 3 ½-4 lbs)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your grill for indirect cooking over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons beer, hoisin, honey, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil. Mix together.
  • Gently loosen the skin on the chicken on the legs, thighs, and breast meat. Spoon half of the hoisin mixture evenly in between the meat and skin.
