rub the whole chicken in 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.In a pestal and mortar combine the 1/2 chopped ginger, garlic, rosemary, and basil, juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup olive oil, and a pinch of pepper, coarse salt and grind to a paste. using fingers peel out a pocket in the breast skin and stuff some of the paste inside.Rub paste all over the chicken and in cavitiy next stuff the chicken with cut up lemons, limes, and 2 whole sprigs of rosemary.Now find a can of beer (I like some kind of honey lager cause it adds some sweet flavour to the bird)and drink half, stuff cloves of garlic, rosemary, and ginger in the can.preheat bbq to 400F, stick can in cavitiy of chicken and stand it on the grill (just on one side of the grill and turn that side off to eliminate flaring up).Cook that 400F for about 1 1/2 hour to 2 hour checking once in a while. Don't be afraid to use a meat themometer to check for doneness.
