This grilled beer can chicken recipe is a classic American barbecue dish that results in tender, juicy chicken with a crispy skin. The beer infuses the chicken with added moisture and flavor while it cooks on the grill. Perfect for a summer cookout or game day feast!

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken
• 1 can of beer
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp BBQ rub seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
2. Open the can of beer and take a few sips to make room for the chicken.
3. Season the chicken inside and out with olive oil, BBQ rub seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Insert the beer can into the cavity of the chicken so it stands upright with the legs down and the wings up.
5. Place the chicken on the grill, using the beer can to support it. Close the lid and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Carefully remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
