Cut the potatoes into thick rounds and the onions into thick half-moons.
Rub the whole chicken with salt, black pepper, thyme, and vegetable oil.
Spread the potatoes and onions over the base of the ember area.
Set the chicken upright on the metal rod and cover it with a clean metal tin.
Seal the edge of the tin with embers and ash, then cook for 45 minutes.
Lift the tin carefully and rest the chicken for 5 minutes.
Cut the chicken into pieces and serve it hot with the potatoes and onions underneath.
💡 Tip: Seal the rim of the tin with embers; if air gets in, the chicken firms up with dry heat instead of steaming.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Break the chicken into large pieces and serve it with the potatoes and onions underneath, plus optional ayran and pickles.
