Steps:
- Remove and discard the fat just inside the body cavities of the chicken. Remove the package of giblets and set aside for another use. Rinse the chicken inside and out, under cold running water, then drain and blot dry inside and out, with paper towels. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the rub inside the body and neck cavities, then rub another 1 tablespoon all over the skin of the bird. If you wish, rub another 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture between the flesh and skin. Cover and refrigerate the chicken while you preheat the grill.
- Set up the grill for indirect grilling, placing a drip pan in the center. If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to medium. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips in the smoker box and preheat to high; then when smoke appears, lower the heat to medium.
- Pop the tab on the beer can. Using a 'church key'-style can opener, make 6 or 7 holes in the top of the can. Pour out the top inch of beer, then spoon the remaining dry rub through the holes into the beer. Holding the chicken upright, with the opening of the body cavity down, insert the beer can into the cavity.
- When ready to cook, if using charcoal, toss 1/2 the wood chips on the coals. Oil the grill grate. Stand the chicken up in the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan. Spread out the legs to form a sort of tripod, to support the bird.
- Cover the grill and cook the chicken until fall-off-the-bone tender, 2 hours. If using charcoal, add 10 to 12 fresh coals per side and the remaining wood chips after 1 hour.
- Using tongs, lift the bird to a cutting board or platter, holding a large metal spatula underneath the beer can for support. (Have the board or platter right next to the bird to make the move shorter. Be careful not to spill hot beer on yourself.) Let stand for 5 minutes before carving meat off the upright carcass. (Toss the beer can out along with the carcass.)
BEER CAN CHICKEN
This odd recipe makes some of the most moist, succulent, flavorful barbecued chicken I've ever tasted. The secret: an open can of beer is inserted into the cavity of the bird, which is cooked upright on the grill. Besides being incredibly tender, the bird makes a great conversation piece. The recipe was inspired by the Bryce Boar Blazers, a barbecue team from Texas I met at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. The proper beverage? Beer, of course.

- Memphis Rub:.
- Combine all the ingredients in a jar, twist the lid on airtight, and shake to mix. Store away from heat or light for up to six months. Makes about 1/2 cup. Enough for 4 to 6 racks of ribs.
- ** Indirect grilling on a Charcoal Grill:.
- To set up you grill for indirect grilling, light the coals. When they are blazing red, use tongs to transfer them to opposite sides of the grill, arranging them in two piles. Some grills have special half-moon-shaped baskets to hold the coals at the sides; others have wire fences that hook onto the bottom gate. Let the coals burn until they are covered with a thin layer of gray ash. Set the drip pan in the center of the grill, between the mounds of coals. Place the food on the grate over the drip pan, and cover the grill. You'll need to add about 10 to 12 fresh briquettes to each side after an hour of cooking.
- If you want to add a smoke flavor, add 1 to 2 cups of presoaked wood chips, or 2 to 4 chunks, to the coals just before you start to cook, and again whenever you replenish the coals.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken inside and out, drain and pat dry. Sprinkle 1 Tbs. of the rub inside the neck and body cavity, then rub another 1 Tbs. all over the skin of the bird. Pop the tab on the beer can. Using a "church-key"-style can opener, make 6 or 7 holes in the top of the can. Drink or pour out the top inch of beer, then spoon the remaining dry rub through the holes into the beer. Holding the chicken upright, push the chicken down onto the beer can so that the can goes into the cavity. Stand the "stuffed" chicken on a roasting pan. The bottom of the beer can and the two legs from a triangular support. If the chicken is too big and the beer can unstable, buttress the legs with skewers. No trussing or further basting is necessary. Preheat the over to 350. Roast about 2 hours until the skin is crisp and the juices run clear when the bird is poked with the tip of a knife. Allow the finished bird to rest before carving.

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
- Remove and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly spray or brush all over with the vegetable oil and season, inside and out, with the rub. Let rest at room temperature while you preheat your grill.
- Open the beer can an pour off half of the beer. (Or drink it if you don't want to waste it.) Set the half-full can of beer in can holder (or if you don't have a can holder, just be extra careful and place the can on a flat smooth surface), and add fresh rosemary leaves, minced shallot and lemon juice. This will help add moisture and flavor from the inside as your chicken cooks. You may need to use a funnel, to help add the ingredients to the can.
- Slide the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity. Transfer the bird to your preheated grill, while carefully keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the bird on its two legs and the can holder. (If can holder is not used just use the can and use the legs like a tripod.) Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170 F in the breast and 180 F in the thickest part of the thigh. 1 - 1/4 to 1 - 1/2 hours. Wearing barbecue mitts, carefully remove the chicken and the can (holder) from the grill. Do not spill the beer, it will be HOT. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can (holder). Discard the beer. Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Serve warm.
- ENJOY!
