Ingredients:

• 1 Large Whole Chicken
• 1 Can of your favourite beer
• 3 tablespoons of dry spice rub

Directions:

1. Clean the chicken by giving it a quick rinse with water, inside and out and remove any big bits of fat from the chickens cavity.
2. Dry the chicken with some kitchen paper, inside and out. You don’t need to be too thorough, just make sure there isn’t too much surface moisture.
3. Open the can of beer, and drink about 1/3rd of the can (This is my favourite part) - Make some additional holes in the top of the beer can.
4. Pour one tablespoon of dry spice rub into the beer can, let this sit to the side for now.
5. Pour a second tablespoon of dry spice rub into the chicken cavity and rub it around to coat all surfaces.
6. Using a third tablespoon of dry spice rub, evenly coat the outside of the chicken.
7. Place the chicken cavity over the beer can so that the can is inside the chicken.
8. If you are using a barbecue, place the chicken on the grill and close the grill cover. Cook for about 70-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is about 165 degrees in the breast area, and 180 degrees in the thigh.
9. If you are using a stove, heat to about 300 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for around 1 hour.
10. Once cooked, remove the beer can and carve the chicken.
11. Enjoy
