Perdue's Beer Can Chicken

[flash]

Ingredients

1 PERDUE® OVEN STUFFER® Whole Roaster
1 tablespoon oil
1/3 cup McCormick GRILL MATES® Montreal Chicken Seasoning, divided
1 can (12 ounces) beer (alternate: juice, soda)
ChickCAN® Rack
Potato or Apple

Instructions

1. Preheat gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove giblets from chicken cavity. Rub chicken with oil. Sprinkle cavity with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Montreal Chicken Seasoning. Sprinkle remaining Montreal Chicken Seasoning evenly over chicken.
2. Remove half of beer. Place can in ChickCAN® rack. Place chicken onto rack in upright position, with legs downward. Insert potato or apple into neck cavity to retain steam. Place rack in pan on grill to catch drippings.
3. Using the indirect cooking method (turn off one burner and set chicken on that side, keeping the mounted bird away from the direct heat) with lid closed, grill 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is done (internal temperature of breast reaches 170°F and thigh reaches 180°F). Remove PERFECT ROAST® Thermometer and chicken from can before serving.

We make this quite a bit and it is so good. Drink the other 1/2 of the can of beer while grilling - even better!
