Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ (12 fluid ounce) can beer
1 (3 pound) whole chicken

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.

I'm not a big fan of beer, but this recipe was still delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the skin was crispy and flavorful.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I tried this recipe, but the chicken didn't cook all the way through. I had to put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the flavor was just average. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a hit at my last BBQ! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and the beer added a subtle smokiness that everyone loved. I'll definitely be making this again.
