SERVES: 6
PREP TIME: 10 Minutes
COOK TIME: 90 Minutes

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. Paprika
1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 whole chicken, rinsed and dried
1 Tbsp. olive oil, or more as needed
1 can beer

Directions

	Step 1: Combine onion powder, salt, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, and brown sugar and mix into a small bowl.

	Step 2:: Prepare the grill for indirect grilling (350-450 degrees). Pour out half of the beer or drink it if you choose to. Poke additional holes in top of the can with a can opener.

	Step 3: Gently loosen skin from the chicken. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil. Sprinkle 1 tsp. of spice mixture into the cavity, then rub the remaining spice mixture all over the chicken.

	Step 4: Holding the chicken with legs pointed down, lower chicken over the can so it fills the body cavity. You can get special beer can chicken holders for this that make it a bit easier.

	Step 5: Place chicken over drip pan; grill, covered over indirect medium heat for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees.

	Step 6: Remove chicken from grill; cover and let stand for 10 minutes before removing from beer can and cutting up.
