  • Prepare the chicken: Remove the giblets from the chicken and rinse it inside and out. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Prepare the can: Open a can of beer or broth and pour out about 1/2 cup of the liquid. Add a few cloves of garlic, a few sprigs of rosemary, and a few bay leaves to the can.
  • Place the chicken on the can: Place the chicken on top of the can, breast-side up. The liquid in the can will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Grill the chicken: Grill the chicken over indirect heat for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: After grilling, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken.
