Beer Can Chicken

Step 1 -Preheat an outdoor grill to a medium-high heat, around 375 degrees F.

Step 2 -Add the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, dry mustard, salt, and ground black pepper together in a bowl.

Step 3 -Put the 1/2 full can of beer in the center of a plate.

Step 4 -Rinse the chicken under some cold running water.

Step 5 -Discard the giblets and the neck of chicken, then drain and pat it dry.

Step 6 -Fit the whole chicken over the top of the can of beer, with the legs on the bottom and kept upright.

Step 7 -Sprinkle a teaspoon of your seasoning mixture on the top of the chicken. The beer may foam up when your seasonings fall into the can.

Step 8 -Rub the rest of the seasoning mix over the entirety of the chicken.

Step 9 -Put the chicken, standing on top of the can, immediately onto the grill.

Step 10 -Close the lid and barbeque the chicken until it is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should be 165 degrees F.

Step 11 -Move the chicken off from the grill and discard the beer can.

Step 12 -Cover the chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow it to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13 -Serve!
