Citrus & Serrano Beer Can Chicken

Grilled chicken with serrano chilies and a generous drizzle of citrus sounds pretty tasty. But Chef Brian Poe of Rattlesnake Bar & Grill jumpstarts the bird with his own seasoning mix, Poe-Co-Loco, a blend of cumin, chili powder, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper and ginger. Prop the chicken on a nice big can of lager and then let the grill do its job.
