Beer Can BBQ Chicken | Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside

Wash the chicken and thoroughly pat it dry inside and out with kitchen paper towels, as this will make the skin truly crispy.

In a small bowl, mix together the dry rub: the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic granules, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thinly with olive oil, then rub the spice mixture evenly over the skin and inside the cavity.

Open the can of beer and pour out about half of it into a bowl (you can use this later to dilute the BBQ sauce or for basting). Place the remaining half-full beer can on a stable tray or directly onto the grill grate.
