Thanks for the input.
Leaning towards the ol' chicken on a beer can idea. I know you only need one can but I usually end up with several of them.....
Rub:
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon granulated onion
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
And of course:
- 1 can of beer
- 1 whole chicken
- BBQ sauce
Combine all the rub ingredients together in a bowl.
Take all the stuff out of the chicken (neck, giblets, etc). Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat dry. Apply some vegetable oil to the chicken and and then cover the chicken with the rub.
Drink about 2/3 of the can of beer (this may take multiple attempts to get it right). Add your favorite BBQ sauce to the beer can so that it is about half full again.
"Sit" the chicken down on the beer can by sliding the can into the body cavity (no, not the side where the head was, the other end....). Make sure the can stays upright so you don't get any of the beer/bbq sauce into the chicken. Set the chicken upright on the grill with the legs around the side of the can for balance. Grill over medium INDIRECT heat till done. (1-1.5 hrs)
To make this easy, several hardware stores sell a metal holder contraption that you can put the beer can in with some support off the bottom to make sure the durn thing doesn't fall over (easy to do if it took you too many beer cans to get it just right).
Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and the can from the chicken, again making sure you don't spill any of the stuff from inside the can into the chicken. Discard (for real this time) the contents of the can.
Enjoy!
