Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken
  • rub
  • 1 beer can 330 ml

Instructions
 

  • put hickory tiles in a bowl with ¼ of the beer, this so they do not start to burn when you put them in to the grill
  • Remove any feathers from the chicken
  • Rub the chicken in with rub
  • Put a tablespoon of rub in the beer can, do this over the sink as the beer can "effervesce" over
  • put the chicken on the beer can and turn the wings at the back of the chicken (see picture)
  • grill on indirect heat for about 1 hour and 20 min
  • the chicken is ready when the meat at the bone holds 82 °
