Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 3-5 lb whole chicken

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine all the rub ingredients. Mix in with a small amount of olive oil - enough to make a paste. Lift up the skin of the chicken and rub under the skin and above the skin all over.
  3. Open up a 12-oz can of beer and pour off 1/3 of it. Place the chicken on top of the beer can in a roasting pan. Fill the bottom of the roasting pan with a small amount of water - enough to cover the bottom.
  4. Cook for 90 minutes (a little less if 3 pounds, a little more if 5). Then set to 500 degrees for 8-10 minutes to crisp it up.
  5. Remove from the oven and let the chicken sit for about 10 minutes before cutting it up.
