Preparation

In a large bowl, mix the ingredients for the marinade. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
Place the chicken in a large, airtight container and pour half of the marinade over it. Massage to coat well. Close the dish and reserve in the fridge for 1 hour. Keep rest of the fresh marinade in the fridge as well.
Place 3 to 4 cups of smoking wood chips in the water and soak for 20 minutes.
Place a smoking basket on the BBQ grills and fill with drained wood chips. Preheat the BBQ at maximum intensity until the chips begin to smoke, 20 to 25 minutes. Add wood chips as soon as smoke begins to reduce, if necessary.
Close 1 or 2 fire on your BBQ (so that the chicken is at indirect cooking) but keep the fire open under the smoking basket. Throw the chicken on the closed fire, skin down, and place the 2 bricks on top. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken is well marked.
Remove the bricks (be careful, they will be hot !!!) and flip the chicken. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F. Baste the chicken with the fresh marinade regularly.

Our sommeliers suggest

Burg Ravensburg Pinot Noir 2022

Baden, Germany

Spatchcocked chicken flattened over the fire: smoky skin, sharp mustard, maple caramelizing, oregano on top. The Burg Ravensburg Pinot Noir from Baden, Germany, answers with red fruit typical of the grape, without flattening the oregano. Its soft tannins let the golden skin come first. Carve with scissors, pour. See the product

SAISON DU TRACTEUR, TROU DU DIABLE, 6%

Smoke, mustard and maple are three big voices on the same plate. The saison doesn't try to shout louder: its citrus and tropical fruit slip in between the spices, and its dryness cuts the maple before it gets sticky. The chicken juices come through clean with every bite. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
