Indulge in the tantalizing world of beer can chicken, where crispy skin, tender meat, and an explosion of flavors unite to create a culinary masterpiece.

For those who love a kick, the Spicy Cajun Rub brings the heat with its blend of chili powder, cayenne, and paprika.
But the adventure doesn't stop there. We also have the savory Chipotle Lime Rub, which combines the smoky warmth of chipotle with the brightness of lime, and the tangy Honey Mustard Rub, which adds a sweet and tangy glaze to the chicken.
And if you're looking for a truly unique experience, try our Asian-inspired Teriyaki Soy Rub, which infuses the chicken with a delightful umami flavor, or the bold and flavorful Jamaican Jerk Rub, which transports your taste buds to the Caribbean.
Whichever recipe you choose, you'll be rewarded with a perfectly cooked beer can chicken that's crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. So, fire up your grill, grab a beer, and let's embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.
SPICE RUBBED BEER CAN CHICKEN
Steps:
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill with a lid big enough to accommodate the bird. Put a drip pan below the grates.
- Mix the ingredients for the Spice Rub until they are well blended. (This will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 week.) Rub it all over the chicken, inside and out.
- Open the beer and take a big swig or just pour out a couple of ounces. Sit the chicken on the beer can so the legs are at the bottom and the wings are at the top. Stand the beer can on the grates over the drip pan. Put the cover on and cook over indirect heat until the juices run clear, about 1 hour. (If using charcoal, push the coals to 1 side so the chicken is not over direct heat.)
- Note: This chicken can also be cooked in a 350 degrees F oven. Just stand the beer can in a shallow roasting pan and cook about 1 hour or until juices run clear.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, dry mustard, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Place the half-full can of beer in the center of a plate.
- Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Fit whole chicken over the can of beer with the legs on the bottom; keep upright. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mix into the top cavity of the chicken. The beer may foam up when the seasonings fall inside the can. Rub the remaining seasoning mix over the entire surface of the chicken.
- Place the chicken, standing on the can, directly on the preheated grill. Close the lid and barbeque the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the grill and discard the beer can. Cover the chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
- Remove and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly spray or brush all over with the vegetable oil and season, inside and out, with the rub. Let rest at room temperature while you preheat your grill.
- Open the beer can an pour off half of the beer. (Or drink it if you don't want to waste it.) Set the half-full can of beer in can holder (or if you don't have a can holder, just be extra careful and place the can on a flat smooth surface), and add fresh rosemary leaves, minced shallot and lemon juice. This will help add moisture and flavor from the inside as your chicken cooks. You may need to use a funnel, to help add the ingredients to the can.
- Slide the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity. Transfer the bird to your preheated grill, while carefully keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the bird on its two legs and the can holder. (If can holder is not used just use the can and use the legs like a tripod.) Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170 F in the breast and 180 F in the thickest part of the thigh. 1 - 1/4 to 1 - 1/2 hours. Wearing barbecue mitts, carefully remove the chicken and the can (holder) from the grill. Do not spill the beer, it will be HOT. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can (holder). Discard the beer. Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Serve warm.
- ENJOY!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds. Make sure the chicken is thawed and patted dry before cooking.
- Prepare the beer can: Open a can of beer and pour out about 1/3 of the liquid. Season the inside of the can with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Make the rub: Combine all of the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin.
- Set up the grill: Prepare your grill for indirect cooking. If you are using a charcoal grill, light the coals and let them burn until they are white-hot. Place a drip pan in the center of the grill grate and fill it with water. If you are using a gas grill, turn on the burners on one side of the grill and leave the other side off. Place a drip pan on the unlit side of the grill grate and fill it with water.
- Cook the chicken: Place the chicken on the beer can and set it in the center of the drip pan. Close the lid of the grill and cook the chicken for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
