Directions:
1. For the chicken rub: In a small bowl mix all the ingredients together and use for the grilled chicken. You can store extra rub mixture in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
2. For the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
3. Rub the chicken and its cavity down with the vegetable oil. Season the chicken with rub mixture, remembering to season the cavity. Pour out 1/4 of the beer and sit the chicken on top of the beer can. Place the chicken in the center of the hot grill and cover. Cook the chicken for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F. Once cooked, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serves 4.

To bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake for about 45 minutes or until done.

Personal Notes:
I cooked this chicken in the oven, and I have to admit, it’s darned good. I also made half of the rub mixture.
