This perfectly grilled whole chicken is likely the most un-fancy thing you’ll ever make. Drink or discard half a can of beer, and you’re just about there.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare a grill for high heat; close top and preheat 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, thyme, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne.
Remove neck and giblets (if any) from chicken. Season chicken all over with spice rub, making sure to reach under skin of breasts and thighs.
Discard or consume about half of beer. Lift and slide chicken legs side down over beer can. The legs should be able to touch a flat surface. (Think of a tripod; I suggest doing this on a baking sheet.)
Reduce burners to medium-low heat; place chicken on coolest part of grill. Cover and grill 40 minutes. (The temperature inside grill should be maintained around 350°.) Rotate chicken 180°, then cover and continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 165° about 20 minutes more.
Using large tongs in one hand and a wad of paper towels in the other, carefully remove chicken to a clean baking sheet or platter. Discard beer.
Let chicken rest at least 10 minutes, then carve and serve.
