Beer Can Barbecue Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Chicken:
  • Remove the neck and giblets from chicken and discard them. Rinse the chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with salt, pepper and the dry rub mix. Set aside. For additional flavour, gently lift skin and rub spice mixture on the meat.
  • Open beer can and empty out half of the beer. Place the beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, place the bird cavity over the beer can. Straighten it out so it is solidly in place.
  • Grilling Directions:
  • Heat your grill to medium high heat.
  • Transfer the bird-on-a-can to your grill and place in the center of one of the grates, balancing the bird on its 2 legs and the can like a tripod. Turn off the burner that the chicken is sitting over, so it gets only indirect heat. If using coals, place the bird in an area without coals directly below it.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high, indirect heat, with the grill cover on, for approximately 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature registers 165ºF in the breast area and 180ºF in the thigh, or until the thigh juice runs clear when stabbed with a sharp knife.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill very carefully, wearing barbecue gloves and it let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Oven Baking Directions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Carefully place the bird and beer can on a baking pan or roaster that is deep enough to catch all of the juices. Bake chicken for approximately 1 1/2 hours or until juices run clear as indicated above.
  • Makes 4 to 6 servings.
