Remove and discard fat from inside the body cavity of the chicken. Remove giblets and rinse chicken, inside and out, under cool running water. Drain chicken and pat dry with paper towels.<\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, sugar, pepper and paprika. Mix well. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the rub inside the body cavity and spread the remaining rub over the outside of the chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Open beer can and, using a can opener, poke 6 or 7 holes in the top of the can. Drink or pour out 1&#8243; of beer from the can. Holding the chicken upright, insert beer can into body cavity of chicken. Cover tips of the chicken legs with aluminum foil and stand chicken up on beer can over center of hot grate. Spread out legs of chicken to form a tripod.<\/p>\n<p>Cook chicken until meat is tender, about 2 hours, and internal temperature of chicken reaches 160\u00b0F. Carefully remove can from chicken, being careful not to spill the hot beer. To serve, carve chicken from the bone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Tip:<\/strong>\nPrepare seasoning rub at home and pack in an airtight container until ready to prepare recipe.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">Reprinted with permission from Fox Chapel Publishing, <a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/spring-summer-2022\/bookshelf-spring-summer-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Easy Campfire Cooking<\/a> (c) 2022.(PHOTO: CARSON MORGAN, WWW.NEWWORLDSEEDCOMPANY.COM<\/p>\n<p class=\"back-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/spring-summer-2022\/cooking-over-the-coals-on-the-open-road\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Back to Food Article<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View recipe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12547,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,157],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe","category-spring-summer-2022-recipe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12545"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12792,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12545\/revisions\/12792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
