2 tbls. vegetable oil
2 tbls. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
3 tbls. of your favorite dry spice rub
1 can beer
Directions:
Directions:
Rinse chicken inside and out. Dry with paper towels. Rub inside and out with salt, pepper and dry rub. Open beer can and take several gulps so the can is half full. Place beer can on a solid surface. Grab a chicken leg in each hand and plunk the bird cavity over the beer can. Place the bird-on-the-can in the middle of your grill, balancing the bird on its two legs and the can like a tripod. Cook the chicken over medium-high, indirect heat with the grill cover on, for about 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature of the breast area is 165ºF and the thigh temperature is 180ºF. Let rest 10 min. before carving.
