Instructions

Prep

Heat oven to 190C/375F. Pat the chicken dry. Mix paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then rub all over with oil.

Roast

Divide chicken between two cans half-filled with beer in separate trays, or use one larger roasting pan with two beer cans. Roast over medium heat at 190C/375F for 70 minutes until the juices run clear.

Char

Grill the corn over high heat for 6 minutes, turning, until charred in spots. Toss the shredded cabbage with mayonnaise into a slaw.

Crisp

Return the chicken over high heat for 8 minutes until the skin is deeply bronzed and crackling, then lift off the cans.

Plate

Rest the chicken 10 minutes, then carve. Plate with the charred corn and slaw alongside.
