How to Make Beer Can Chicken W Dirty Bird Rub

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F).
  2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the rub adhere better.
  3. Generously brush the chicken inside and out with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Apply Dirty Bird Rub evenly all over the chicken, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
  5. Open a 12-ounce can of your favorite beer (leave about 1 inch of beer in the can).
  6. Carefully insert the beer can into the cavity of the chicken. Ensure the can stands upright.
  7. Place the chicken on the grill grate, ensuring it is stable.
  8. Grill for approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F. Baste with remaining beer or pan juices every 20 minutes.
  9. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
