For extra flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme to the beer can. If you don't have a grill, you can roast this chicken in the oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the beer can chicken in a roasting pan and bake until cooked through. Experiment with different beer styles to find your favorite flavor combination. A dark stout will impart a richer, more robust flavor, while a lighter lager will be more subtle.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat, aiming for about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Open your can of beer and drink or discard half. Place the half-full can of beer on a sturdy plate or grilling stand. (1 minute)
04 Step
Recipe View Remove the giblets and neck from the chicken cavity, if present. Rinse the chicken thoroughly under cold running water, then pat it completely dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up beautifully. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Carefully lower the chicken onto the beer can, centering it so the can is inside the cavity and the chicken is standing upright. The legs should act as a 'tripod' for stability. (3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mixture into the top cavity of the chicken. Be prepared for the beer to foam up a bit! (1 minute)
07 Step
Recipe View Generously rub the remaining seasoning mixture all over the outside of the chicken, ensuring an even coating. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Carefully transfer the chicken, still standing on the beer can, to the preheated grill. Position it away from direct heat if possible, for more even cooking. (2 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Close the grill lid and cook for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (75 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Carefully remove the chicken from the grill using heat-resistant gloves or tongs. Discard the beer can (it will be very hot!). (2 minutes)
11 Step
Recipe View Tent the chicken loosely with a double layer of aluminum foil and let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. (10 minutes)
