Then lightly coat the chicken with the oil and rub chicken generously inside and out with spice mixture.
Let chicken sit for 30 minutes to allow the rub to cure.
Squeeze the lemon juice into an empty beer can.
Slide the chicken over the beer can and you're ready to go. Set the chicken over the can so that the legs and can form a tripod. Carefully place beer can and chicken on grill over drip pan.
If you are going to cook the potatoes as well, toss them with a little oil and seasoning and scatter them around the bottom of the roaster in a single layer.
Close the grill cover and cook 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until internal temperature of the breast meat is 160℉ and the thigh meat registers 175℉.
