   • Remove the neck and giblets from the chicken and discard.
   • Rinse the chicken inside and out, then pat dry with paper towels.
   • Lightly rub the chicken with oil, followed by a seasoning of salt, pepper, and dry rub both inside and out. Set aside.

3. Beer Can Setup:

   • Open the beer can and take several big gulps, leaving it half full.
   • Place the beer can on a stable surface.

4. Chicken Assembly:

   • Holding a chicken leg in each hand, lower the chicken cavity over the beer can.
   • Transfer the bird-on-a-can to the center of the grill grate, balancing it on its two legs and the can like a tripod.

5. Grilling:

   • Cook the chicken over high indirect heat with the grill cover on for about 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the breast area and 180°F in the thigh.
   • Alternatively, the thigh juices should run clear when stabbed with a sharp knife.

6. Resting:

   • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
