Beer Can Chicken

I wouldn't use Guinness but that's just me, I don't think the flavor's going to work well.
For the rub, keep it simple, 1/4 cup each: coarse salt, brown sugar and paprika with 2tbs pepper. Put a tablespoon or so in the beer rub the rest on the bird.

I am attempting one tonight. My first crack at it. I picked up a 3.5lb bird from Big Y. "Smart Chicken"...their premium house brand which is way better than that Perdue stuff. I am using Sea Hag IPA.

IAB good luck on your attempt@ beer can chicken and don't blow your house up .
Thanks, dh'ermike! I gotta say...goddamn was that a good chicken. Slightly browned skin on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. That's what she said.
PICS, since so far all beer can chicken monkeys have failed so miserably at pics...
Hickory wood chunks soaking in beer
The beer: Sea Hag IPA
Uncooked chicken all spiced up
CHIKKAN sitting upright ready for cookin'
The grill all smoked up and schit
Cooked BIRD
Sliced up and ready for teh EAT
I roasted some mini taters to go with the chikcon
Whatever you had for dinner, mine was better.
