COOK IT.
Brush your chicken all over with olive oil.
Variation 3 - Make it herbaceous: Stir together 1 tsp. garlic powder with 2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning and 1 ½ tsp. salt.
Spread BBQ rub all over the chicken and inside the cavity.
Open the can of beer and pour out about a quarter. Poke a few holes in the top of the can.
Now it’s time for the chicken to meet the beer. Slide the chicken on the beer can so the legs touch the ground. The chicken legs will work as a tripod to stabilize itself.
Place the chicken and can on the unlit side of the grill for indirect cooking and insert your digital temperature probe into the thickest part of the chicken breast or thigh.
Close the lid and cook your chicken for 60 to 90 minutes or until your SureTemp™ Controller reads a food temperature of 165˚F.
Once cooked, remove chicken from grill and carefully remove the can. Let the meat rest for 5-7 minutes before carving.
Garnish with fresh herbs to taste and serve. And for the love of all things grilled, please do not drink that beer.
Variation 1 - Make it spicy: Mix together 1 ½ tbps. chili powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, ½ tsp. coriander, 1 ½ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper and ½ tsp. pepper. Garnish your cooked chicken with a squeeze of lime juice and a handful of chopped cilantro.
