The secret to creating a deliciously browned chicken is the dry rub Patrick Neely uses on the bird. It's a blend of smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried herbs, and cumin.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


Grilled chicken

  • Chicken weighing 1.8 kg (wash and dry)

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. For dry mix:

    Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and use to grill chicken. Store any unused mixture in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  2. For the chicken:

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

    Brush the chicken inside and out with vegetable oil. Rub the dry rub mixture in the same manner. Pour in 1/4 of the beer and place the chicken on the can. Place the chicken in the center of the preheated grill and close the lid.

    Cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on a thermometer. When done, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
