Ingredients
Beer Can Chicken Rub:
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
For the Chicken:
- 4 pounds chicken, washed and dried
- Vegetable oil
- Beer Can Chicken Rub
- 1 (12-ounce) can beer
Directions
For the chicken rub:
In a small bowl mix all the ingredients together and use for the grilled chicken. You can store extra rub mixture in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
For the chicken:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken and its cavity down with the vegetable oil. Season the chicken with rub mixture, remembering to season the cavity. Pour out 1/4 of the beer and sit the chicken on top of the beer can. Place the chicken in the center of the hot grill and cover. Cook the chicken for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F. Once cooked, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Fabulous! Made on the grill and took 1 1/2 hours (4 1/2 lb chicken. I set the chicken in a large cast iron pan. After it was done, I made a gravy from the drippings. Served over Ree's mashed potatoes. Family raved! The rub was perfect and will continue to use!

Recipe recipe. I've made beer can chicken a bunch of times in the past, but thought I'd try this recipe and it was really good. The seasoning and flavor was delicious.
