Beer Can Chicken
Serving Size : 4

1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 can beer -- (12 oz) half full
1 Tablespoon dried basil
2 Teaspoons paprika
1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon black pepper
1 whole chicken -- 3-1/2 to 4 lb.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Add the barbecue sauce to the
half-full can of beer.

In a small bowl, combine the basil, paprika, onion powder, garlic
powder, salt and pepper; mix well and rub evenly over the chicken.

Place the cavity of the chicken over the beer can so that the chicken
is sitting on the can; then place on the grill, positioning for
indirect heat.

Cover the grill and cook over indirect heat for 1 to 1-1/4 hours, or
until no pink remains and the juices run clear.

Carefully pour the remaining sauce from the can into a bowl and serve
with the chicken.
