Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped onion, paprika, thyme, and lemon juice in a bowl.

Rub the marinade all over the whole chicken, ensuring it's well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).

Place the marinated chicken on the grill, breast side down, and cook for 30 minutes.

Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 30-40 minutes, basting with melted butter occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with mustard and beer on the side.
