How to grill beer can chicken

Summer is the best time to grilled chicken. The chicken with beer inserted into the cavity holding the chicken as it cooks and tenderized the meat. This process the beer steam right through, making the meat very tender and juicy.

I like to place slices of lime inside the cavity and over the lime juice, paprika, dry oregano, black pepper, garlic powder, dry rosemary and salt.

have the grill ready, if using charcoal move the charcoals to one side of the grill and leave space for low heat to cook the chicken.

Place over indirect heat and let it cook for about an hour or two.

Chicken can be served with Mexican rice, guacamole, Pico de Gallo, mashed potatoes
