Main Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken about 4 pounds
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 can beer 12 oz can
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Open the beer can and drink half, or pour it out. Place the beer can on a solid surface and lower the chicken onto the can, so the can fits into the cavity of the chicken.
Transfer the chicken to the grill, balancing it on the can. Close the grill lid and cook for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
