Beer Can Chicken

Beer Can Chicken

4 Tablespoons dry rub (like McCormick's Applewood Rub)
1 1/2 full can of beer
1 3-4 lb chicken

Rinse and pat chicken dry.  Rub the chicken generously with the dry rub.  Using a foil pie pan, stand your chicken over the can of beer.  I used a stand specifically designed for can barbecuing chicken on the grill.  This made the process very easy.

Preheat your grill and place the chicken, in the pie pan, on the grill.  Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Always use a thermometer to be sure that your chicken is done.  Your chicken is safe to eat when the thigh registers180 degrees.

When done, carefully move the chicken and pie pan to the counter to rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
