  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/4 tablespoon fresh black pepper
  • 1 (12-ounce) can beer
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1/4 cup favorite barbecue sauce

Directions

Preheat a grill to 250 degrees F.

Remove giblets from inside of chicken. Rub chicken with your favorite barbecue rub, paprika, and pepper.

    Can you put it in the oven instead of on the grill because we have a very small charcoal grill.

    The only problem I really have with this recipe is clean up. . . I do it so often that I've bought a rack to make the chicken stand up, but there is the problem with collecting the grease. . . I usually use an old pie tin, but removal is still a bear. I think i will invest in a pair of silicone gloves.

    So far it's the best chicken we've had, but we haven't tried all of Guy's Recipes yet!! I'm sure it will always be in the top running though!!
