Some sort of drip pan big enough for the beer can chicken holder to fit onto. Trust meyou’ll want to do this.
Instructions
Preheat your grill to about 375 degrees. If you have a gas grill, don’t use all the burners. If you have two burners only turn on one to medium high. If you have 3 burners, only turn one on to medium-high and one on low to medium leaving the third burner off. If you are using coals, make sure the coals are mostly over to one side. You want to be able to cook your chicken with indirect heat.
Mix the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Brush the chicken with olive oil. Rub the spice mixture onto the entire chicken leaving about 1 teaspoon of spice.
Pop open the beer your using and drink about half (or pour out half) of the beer. Poke a hole in the top of the can. Pour the remaining teaspoon of spice in the beer. Place the beer in the beer can chicken holder. Place the chicken cavity onto the beer can.
Place your beer can chicken onto the preheated grill (not over the direct heat). Close the cover of the grill and cook for approximately 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the breast; or until the thigh juice runs clear. You’ll want to turn the chicken every 20 – 25 minutes so all sides are browned nicely.
Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Enjoy! ?
