Prepare the grill for indirect heat.

Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, mustard powder, and smoked paprika to create a rub.

Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin for maximum flavor.

Place the chicken in a large resealable bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).

Place the chicken on the grill, breast side up, over indirect heat.

Close the grill lid and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

Baste the chicken with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and chicken broth every 30 minutes for added moisture.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Serve with fresh herbs and lemon juice drizzled on top.
