- Ready In:

- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 1 (4 1/2-5 lb) whole frying chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon thyme (dry)
- 1 teaspoon savory (dry)
- 1 tablespoon basil (dry)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (dry)
- 1⁄2 cup cherry soda
- 1⁄4 cup sherry wine (sweet)
directions
- Preheat grill on high. (I use gas).
- Remove parts from breast cavity and discard.
- Pour soda out of can into a glass. Then poor 1/2 cup of soda along with sherry wine back into the can.
- Mix olive oil, thyme, savory, basil and parsley together and rub all over chicken.
- Place the chicken on the soda can so the can is in the breast cavity right side up.
- Place the chicken & soda can in a foil pan inside the grill. (Since I have a small grill, I use aluminum foil to cover the top of the chicken so it doesn't hit the top of the lid.).
- Reduce the heat to Medium and cook the chicken for 1-1/2 hours or until when inserting a thermometer in to the thigh meat, it reads 165 degrees F.
- Remove from grill, plus remove soda can and allow the chicken to rest for 15-20 minutes.
- The juices will be red from the cherry soda.
