Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1-1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 lb)
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 lemon slices
  • 1 can (12 oz) beer

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Gently loosen skin from the chicken. Brush chicken with oil. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of spice mixture into cavity. Rub the remaining spice mixture over and under the skin. Place lemon slices in neck cavity. Tuck wing tips behind the back.
  2. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Pour out half of the beer, reserving for another use. Poke additional holes in top of the can with a can opener. Holding the chicken with legs pointed down, lower chicken over the can so it fills the body cavity.
  3. Place chicken over drip pan; grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180°. Remove chicken from grill; cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove chicken from can. Yield: 4 servings.
