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

Place the whole chicken in a large resealable bag or dish, and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's well coated.

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the charcoal grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the coals are glowing and covered with ash.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.

Place the chicken on the grill, breast side down, and cover the grill.

Cook for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the skin is crispy.

If the chicken browns too quickly, move it to a cooler part of the grill to prevent burning.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
