Texas Dry Rub Beer Can Chicken is a popular BBQ recipe that originated in the southern United States. The dry rub consists of various spices that give the chicken a smoky, slightly spicy flavor that pairs well with the beer can. Using a beer can to cook the chicken upright also helps to evenly cook the chicken and keep it moist. This recipe is perfect for outdoor gatherings and barbecues with friends and family, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

1.Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2.In a small bowl, combine paprika, light brown sugar, chili powder, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and ground cumin.
3.Rub the chicken with vegetable oil and then sprinkle the dry rub all over the chicken, making sure to rub it into the skin.
4.Open the beer can and pour out (or drink) about half of the beer. Add the minced shallot and lemon juice to the can. Place the can inside the beer can chicken holder.
5.Place the chicken over the can, inserting the can into the cavity of the chicken.
6.Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 60-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.
7.Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Discard the beer can and carve the chicken to serve.
