This is mouth-watering chicken that will fall off the bone. Giuseppe says,”Sarebbe un piacere cenare insieme!”  (I’d like to have dinner with you!)

Ingredients:

• one whole chicken 4-5 lbs.
• 1 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon granulated onion
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 16 oz. can of beer

Directions:

You can mix all of the above dry ingedients to make a rub or you can buy Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Barbeque Seasoning if you live in the Southern United States.

Coat chicken with oil and rub on the seasonings. Drink half the can of beer and place chicken over the 16 oz. can.  Place on top of your barbeque grill, standing on the can, and cover. Use indirect heat, if using a three burner grill, turn off the middle burner and place chicken in center. If using coals, put the chicken off to the side of the heat.

Cooking should take a total of 75 to 90 minutes. Turn chicken half way through cook time being careful not to burn yourself or knock the chicken over.  When done breast should be 180 degrees internal temperature.

Use mitts to remove from the grill and don’t burn yourself.  Let cool a few minutes before removing the can and be careful not to burn yourself on the hot contents of the can. Plate and serve.

The secret to achieving the best results is to leave the lid on the grill. No peeking! Trust me, Giuseppe, it’s cooking in there!
