  • Have another shot of tequila and lime and while you're at it add a shot to the beer can with a piece of lime, the rest of the oregano, peppers, and garlic cloves.
  • Push the can into to rear end of the chicken so that the hen can sit up.

  • Have a couple more shots while your coals get ready on the pit.
  • Place the pan with the chicken on the pit and close the grill.
  • Let chicken cook for 1 hour on medium hot pit.
