Directions

1. Dry rub I use lemon pepper, paprika or possibly tandoori seasoning
2. Wash and dry chicken, remove the excess fat. Rub oil over the whole chicken then season with the salt and pepper and any dry rub you like. . Empty the beer about 1/4 of the way add in the fresh herbs to the beer can making sure which they are pushed all the way down into the can. Place the chicken (cavity) over the beer can, place on the grill try to get the legs in front of the can to help balance (we use a gas grill).
3. Preheat thegrill on high using the heat on just one side of the grill. Turn the heat down a little and place the chicken on the side which is not on. Close the grill lid and roast the chicken for about 1 1/2 hrs, depending on the size of the chicken or possibly till the internal temperature is 165: and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest about 10 min before carving. Make sure to use thick oven mits to remove the chicken from the grill. You will have to do a bit of a balancing job to get the can and chicken to stay upright. Jan
