Created by Shadows1 on October 30, 2013

Step 1: To make the rub: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
Step 2: Remove and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken.
Step 3: Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 4: Lightly spray or brush all over with the vegetable oil and season, inside and out, with the rub.
Step 5: Open the beer can and pour off half of the beer.
Step 6: Set the half-full can on a flat surface and slide the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity.
Step 7: Transfer the bird to the grill, keeping the can upright.
Step 8: Carefully balance the bird on its two legs and the can.
Step 9: 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.
Step 10: Wearing barbecue mitts, carefully remove the chicken and the can from the grill, being careful not to spill the beer – it will be hot.
Step 11: Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can.
Step 12: Discard the beer.
Step 13: Cut the chicken into serving pieces.
Step 14: Serve warm.
Step 15: My note: This can be cooked in a hot oven if the weather is not amiable to outdoor cooking
