Preparation
Step 1
Rub the spice/paste over rinsed and dried chicken.
Light the grill and heat to 350F. Open beer can and empty about 1/4 cup of it. Punch a couple more holes into the can with punch opener. Ram the chicken over the beer can so it's sitting upright over it.
Place the chicken and beer can in roasting pan over indirect heat; cover and roast with bbq lid down, rotating the bird 180 degrees at the halfway mark.
3 lb bird: 70-90 minutes; the thickest part of the thigh should be 170-175F when meat thermometer inserted.
Remove from bbq onto platter, keeping can upright. Rest for about 15 minutes before lifting chicken off the can and onto a cutting board. Carve.
