2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons onion powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 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.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed
½ (12 ounce) can beer (such as Budweiser®)

Steps:

  • Combine onion powder, salt, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, and brown sugar in a small resealable plastic bag and shake the bag to mix the spices. Pour spice mix into a small bowl.
  • Make 2 cuts in the chicken skin, on front and back of chicken; insert your hand underneath the skin in front and back and loosen and separate skin without tearing it. Rub the chicken skin and cavity with vegetable oil, and rub the spice rub over the chicken skin, inside the cavity, and beneath the loosened skin.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat.
  • Place the beer can on the preheated grill and sit the chicken onto the beer can. Grill until chicken is thoroughly browned, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the breast, not touching bone, reads at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
