Chili and Lime Beer Can Chicken

1. Combine the mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, salt and spices in a large mixing bowl to form a paste.
2. Rinse your chicken, check for any pin feathers, and pat dry.
3. Place the chicken in the mixing bowl with the mayonnaise paste and gently smother the chicken in the mixture. Make sure to get inside the chicken as well.
4. Dice the potatoes into medium cubes. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, the second listed amount of chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
5. Heat your grill to medium high heat—about 375 F.
6. Open your can of beer and drink a few sips. Gently insert the can into the bottom of the chicken, keeping the beer and the chicken upright.
7. Place a disposable aluminum pan on the grill. Stand the chicken upright in the roasting pan (still propped on top of the can of beer).
8. Place the potatoes around the chicken in the roasting pan.
9. Close the grill and cook the chicken for 35-45 minutes. Test for doneness with a digital thermometer—the thigh meat should be at least 180 F when done.
10. Carefully remove the chicken from the grill. The beer and the can are very hot. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes.
11. Gently remove the beer can from the bottom of the chicken. Carve and serve!
