Preparation

Step 1

HEAT grill to medium-high heat.

MIX first 5 ingredients; rub onto chicken.

OPEN beer can; discard half the beer. Place can on work surface; lower chicken over can, inserting can into tail end of chicken. Stand chicken on grill grate, using the legs to help chicken stand upright. (Can should remain in chicken on grill.) Turn off burners directly below chicken; cover grill.

GRILL chicken 1 hour; brush with sauce. Grill, uncovered, 15 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF), brushing frequently with remaining sauce. Remove from grill; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 min. before removing chicken from can and carving chicken. Discard any beer remaining in can.
