Achieve succulent chicken by using a beer can for tender and juicy meat. Easy and impressive!
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 whole chicken (4 to 4 1/2 lb)
  • 1 can (12 oz) regular or nonalcoholic beer
Instructions:
  • For a smoky flavor, set up a drip pan under the grilling area and position the coals along the firebox's edge. Preheat the coals or gas grill for indirect heat. Combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Gently fold chicken wings across the back so the tips touch. Season with paprika mixture inside and outside of the chicken, using your fingers to rub it in evenly.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of beer from the can and insert it into the chicken cavity, ensuring the opening is facing down. Place a barbecue meat thermometer inside the thigh, making sure it's in the thickest part without touching the bone.
  • Grill the chicken upright over a drip pan or on the unheated side of a gas grill over medium heat for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, until the thermometer reads 180°F and the juices run clear when the center of the thigh is cut.
  • With the help of tongs, gently transfer the chicken to a 13x9-inch pan, ensuring to hold a large metal spatula under the beer can for support. Allow the chicken to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Then, remove and discard the beer can.
