How to make it

  • For the chicken rub:
  • In a small bowl mix all the ingredients together and use for the grilled chicken. You can store extra rub mixture in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  • 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.
  • Place 1/3 of your bacon slices inside the cavity and let the rest drape down the front. See Photo
  • 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. See Photo
  • Once cooked, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

    This sounds excellent. Pleased to see a "Homemade Rub" as the pre-packaged ones have a TON of sodium. Can't beat Beer Can Chicken in the summer time! Great post!
