Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 roasting chicken
• 2 whole oranges
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
• 16 ounces beer, your choice

Recipe

• 1 clean out chicken and pat dry with a paper towel.
• 2 then cut oranges in half and squeeze all over chicken, inside and out.( make sure to pick up seeds and throw away).
• 3 then mix all other ingredients together and rub all over chicken. ( i also rub in between the skin and meat.
• 4 then take a few gulps of the beer and then stick the beer can in the chicken's rear and set up on grill. (use the beer can and legs of chicken as a tripod to help stand up). i use a gas grill so you want to place it in the middle of the burners so it doesn't get direct heat. (if you use a charcoal grill to make sure and place charcoal in a circle around the chicken so it doesn't burn). i also use a tin pan to put under the grill on top of the rocks to catch any drippings.
• 5 you then shut grill for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, until the chicken is 180 degrees in the thigh.
• 6 take off grill and let stand for 5 to 10 minute.
• 7 it should just pretty much fall off the bone!
• 8 enjoy!
