Ingredients

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

3 pounds chicken - (to 3 ½)

Preparation

Preheat the grill to medium heat. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the chicken, mix well.

Place the chicken on a vertical chicken roaster and rub the seasoning mixture evenly over it. Place on the grill, close the grill lid, and cook for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until no pink remains and the juices run clear.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: The cavity of the chicken should be placed over the vertical roaster - that way the heat of the grill can evenly cook it. A vertical roaster can be found in almost any department store or housewares store - and even in some supermarkets. Cooking time will vary depending on the type of grill used.
