Main Ingredients
- 1 Whole Chicken about 4-5 pounds
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 can Beer 12 oz
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
Instructions:
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Rinse the chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels.
-
Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
-
Open the beer can and drink half (or pour it out). Place the beer can on a solid surface and lower the chicken onto the can so it sits upright.
-
Place the chicken on the grill, balancing it on the beer can. Close the lid and cook for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
-
Carefully remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Notes:
Be careful when removing the chicken from the grill as the beer can will be very hot.
