Mix the rub in a small bowl until it's well incorporated. Wash, dry
and season the chicken generously inside and out with the rub. Work
the mixture well into the skin and under the skin wherever possible.
Place in medium bowl, cover and set aside at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

Preheat gill to 350.

CAUTION: Cook with indirect heat. This method of cooking chicken does
two things: first, it helps drain off the fat as the chicken cooks,
second, the beverage steams the inside of the chicken, while the
outside is cooked by the BBQ heat, making it the most moist bird
you've ever laid yer eyes, or gums, on. Some people put a small potato
or carrot in the neck opening of the chicken to keep the steam inside.

For Charcoal Grills: Place coals on one side of barbecue grill, cook chicken over the other side. Add 6-8 coals every 30 min.
For Multiple Burner Gas Grills: Turn gas to medium on one burner, place chicken over an unheated burner.
For oven use: Place in a disposable pie pan and add 1/4 cup of water.)

Using a 12-oz. can of your favorite beer, pour out half the contents into a spray bottle, add the cider, olive oil, vinegar and Louisiana
Hot Sauce and set aside. Seat the chicken on the top of the beer can or chicken sitter device.

OPTIONAL: You may add Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, minced garlic, onions, etc. to liquid. You can also use fruit juices, colas,
or wine instead of beer.

Place on the grill over indirect heat. To prevent flare ups on the
grill place the rack into a disposable aluminum pie pan and add 1/4 cup of water.

Cook for 1 1/4- to 2 hours. During the cooking time spray the chicken all around with the basting spray several times. The chicken is done when it is dark golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees in the thigh. Carefully remove the bird and place it on
heatproof counter top to rest for 5-10 minutes. Remove the chicken with tongs while holding the rack with an oven mitt.

WARNING The can, or chicken sitter device and the liquid in it, is very hot and can burn you.

Give the chicken one more spritz of the basting spray and then carve. Serve and enjoy.
