Beer Can Chicken

Last night, I made Beer Can Chicken.  This is one of those meals that you can't really mess up (which is why I love it!).  It's a simple - prep it; put it on the grill and forget about it for 75 minutes!
Ingredients:
Olive Oil
McCormicks(R) Cowboy Rub
1 Whole Chicken
1 can beer (opened and half full) - I used a 16 oz can because this chicken was pretty big

Directions:
Light grill and prepare for indirect medium heat (outside burners on but not center)
Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry
Remove giblets
Rub olive oil over the entire chicken
Sprinkle the rub over the entire chicken
Place chicken on top of half full beer can
Carefully get the chicken to the grill and place in the center (over a non-lit burner)
Ensure the chicken will stand on the beer can
Cover and let it cook for 75 minutes
Take chicken off grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes

I served this with roasted sweet potatoes and a salad.
