A flavorful and juicy grilled chicken recipe infused with the essence of beer and aromatic spices.
Combine all the dry rub ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Rub the chicken inside and out with the prepared spice mixture.
Ensure the rub covers all parts of the chicken for maximum flavor.
Open the beer can and pour half into a spray bottle. Add orange juice, olive oil, and vinegar to the spray bottle and mix.
Shake the spray bottle well to combine the ingredients.
Insert the half-full beer can into the cavity of the chicken and position it upright on the grill.
Ensure the chicken is stable to prevent tipping over during cooking.
Cook the chicken on the grill over medium heat for about 2 hours, spraying it with the basting spray every 20 minutes.
Monitor the grill temperature to maintain consistent heat.
Carefully remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Use tongs to handle the chicken carefully, as the beer can and liquid will be hot.
