Beer Butt Chicken Recipe

 Beer Butt Chicken
 
 
This is the best chicken you will ever have! Cooked outside on a grill as to roast. No grill? No problem! Just use the lowest rack in your oven, preheated to 375* and roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min. , or until juices run clear.
 

1   whole chicken  
12 oz    beer (one can of any type of beer)  
2 Tbs    2 cloves garlic, minced  
2 Tbs    honey  
2 Tbs    ground cumin seed  
2 Tbs    chili powder  
1 Tbs    freshly ground black pepper  
1 Tbs    ground allspice  
1 tsp    cinnamon  
 
1 Prepare a "marinade" to soak the whole chicken in. Bring 2 qt of water to a boil in a large pan, add the minced garlic and honey. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2 Rinse your chicken and place it in a container large enough to accommodate the chicken and most of the marinade liquid. Pour cooled marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
3 While the chicken is brining, mix all the spices together to make a rub for the beer butt chicken.
4 Preheat your grill.
5 Rinse the chicken in cool water and pat dry. Rub all over with the spice rub you prepared.
6 Open the beer and empty out about 1/4 cup. Using a church-key type can opener, punch several more holes in the top.
7 Slide the whole chicken over the can so that the drumsticks reach down to the bottom of the can and the chicken will stand upright on the can.
8 Place the chicken on the can, standing up on the cool part of the grill. Grill-roast until the chicken is done, and has reached 170* using a meat thermometer placed in the inner thigh. This should take somewhere between 70 and 90 minutes.
9 Using potholders, transfer the cooked chicken, can and all, to a platter to rest for 15 minutes.
10 Carefully lift the chicken off the can and discard the can. Carve the chicken and serve.
