Ingredients

  

1x2x3x?

• 1 chicken
• rub
• 1 beer can 330 ml

Method

 

1. put hickory tiles in a bowl with ¼ of the beer, this so they do not start to burn when you put them in to the grill
2. Remove any feathers from the chicken
3. Rub the chicken in with rub
4. Put a tablespoon of rub in the beer can, do this over the sink as the beer can "effervesce" over
5. put the chicken on the beer can and turn the wings at the back of the chicken (see picture)
6. grill on indirect heat for about 1 hour and 20 min
7. the chicken is ready when the meat at the bone holds 82 °
