Directions:
Clean chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken with oil and then inside and out with spices. Place beer on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, plunk the bird cavity over the beer can. Transfer to the grill and place in the center of the grate, balancing the bird like a tripod. Cook the chicken over med-high indirect heat for approx. 1 1/4 hours or until the temp reaches 165 degrees in the breast and 180 degrees in the thigh. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.
