make it

1. HEAT barbecue to medium-high heat. Mix first 5 ingredients; rub onto chicken. Open beer can; discard half the beer.

2. PLACE beer can on work surface; lower chicken over can, inserting can into tail end of chicken. Stand chicken on barbecue grate, using the legs and can to help chicken stand upright. (The can should remain in chicken on barbecue.) Turn off burners directly below chicken to grill using.

3. GRILL chicken 1 hour; brush with sauce. Grill 15 min. or until chicken is done (170ºF), brushing frequently with remaining sauce. Remove from barbecue; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 min. before removing chicken from can and carving chicken. Discard any beer remaining in can.

How to grill over indirect heat:
When food is not cooked directly over the heat source, the covered barbecue acts like an oven, so there is no need to turn the food. Use this method for foods that require at least 25 min. of grilling time.
