Awesome Beer Can Chicken

9 ingredients
14 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 roasting chicken
  • 2 whole oranges
  • 14 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 12 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 14 teaspoon salt
  • 14 teaspoon ground red pepper (Cayenne)
  • 16 ounces beer, your choice

Directions

  1. 1
    Clean out chicken and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. 2
    Then cut oranges in half and squeeze all over chicken, inside and out.
  3. 3
    ( make sure to pick up seeds and throw away).
  4. 4
    Then mix all other ingredients together and rub all over chicken.
  5. 5
    ( I also rub in between the skin and meat.
  6. 6
    Then take a few gulps of the beer and then stick the beer can in the chicken's rear and set up on grill.
  7. 7
    (Use the beer can and legs of chicken as a tripod to help stand up).
  8. 8
    I use a gas grill so you want to place it in the middle of the burners so it doesn't get direct heat.
  9. 9
    (If you use a charcoal grill to make sure and place charcoal in a circle around the chicken so it doesn't burn).
  10. 10
    I also use a tin pan to put under the grill on top of the rocks to catch any drippings.
  11. 11
    You then shut grill for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, until the chicken is 180 degrees in the thigh.
  12. 12
    Take off grill and let stand for 5 to 10 minute.
  13. 13
    It should just pretty much fall off the bone!
  14. 14
    Enjoy!
