Beer-Can Crock-Pot Chicken

This is a variation from the "real" beer-can chicken that goes on a BBQ, but DEFINITELY worth a shot.

I've made this twice. The second time, I doubled the amount of rub to add more flavor. 

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp dark brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp pepper

3/4 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp dried ground sage

One 4-5 lb. chicken, rinsed and patted dry

One 12 oz can beer, preferably Budweiser

1.) Mix all ingredients above together (besides the last two, chicken and beer) to create the rub (I double this).

2.) Rub all over chicken, preferrably under the skin for added flavor.

3.) Place chicken in crock-pot. Pour beer inside the chicken and on bottom of the crock-pot. 

4.) Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Serve with couscous and a veggie of your choice. There will be PLENTY of leftovers!

5.) Enjoy!
