1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1 whole chicken (4 lb.)
1 can (12 oz.) beer
1/2 cup KRAFT Sweet Honey Barbecue Sauce

Heat grill for indirect grilling: Light one side of grill, leaving other side unlit. Close lid; heat grill to 375ºF.
Mix first 5 ingredients; rub onto chicken.
Open beer can; discard half the beer. Place can on work surface; lower chicken over can, inserting can into tail end of chicken. Stand chicken on grate over unlit area, using the legs to help the chicken stand upright; cover. (Can should remain in chicken on grill.)
Grill chicken 1 hour; brush with 1/4 cup sauce. Grill, uncovered, 15 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF), monitoring for consistent grill temperature and brushing chicken frequently with remaining sauce. Remove from grill; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 min. before removing chicken from can and carving chicken. Discard any beer remaining in can.
