Time 1h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 whole chicken (4 to 4 1/2 lb)
1 can (12 oz) regular or nonalcoholic beer

Steps:

  • If using charcoal grill, place drip pan directly under grilling area, and arrange coals around edge of firebox. Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat. In small bowl, mix paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper.
  • Fold wings of chicken across back with tips touching. Sprinkle paprika mixture inside cavity and over outside of chicken; rub with fingers.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of beer from can. Hold chicken upright, with opening of body cavity down; insert beer can into cavity. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone.
  • Cover and grill chicken upright over drip pan or over unheated side of gas grill over medium heat 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until thermometer reads 180°F and juice is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut.
  • Using tongs, carefully lift chicken and place in 13x9-inch pan, holding large metal spatula under beer can for support. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. Remove beer can; discard.

This recipe was terrible. The chicken was dry and tough, and the herbs were burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is a joke. The chicken was raw and the herbs were all wilted. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might try brining the chicken next time to help keep it moist.

This was my first time making grilled herb chicken on a can and it turned out great! The chicken was cooked evenly and the herbs added a nice flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd pleaser. The chicken is always juicy and the herbs give it a great flavor. I like to serve it with a simple green salad.

This recipe was a hit! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the herbs added a delicious aroma. I served it with roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.
