Markos Beer Can Chicken Recipe

Markos Beer Can Chicken

From marko2020 16 years ago

When my grill is slow-roasting my perfectly prepared poultry pal, the neighbors come out of the woodwork to smell the show!

Rinse and pat dry thawed chicken
(fresh unfrozen is the best)
slice garlic paper thin and carefully tuck underneath the upper half of the birds skin
sprinkle seasonings of your choice inside the bird and rub
lightly brush the ouside of the bird with butter or vegatable oil
season the outside of the bird with seasonings
place bird upright on can holder with can ( you can find these at many stores nowadays)
Place either a medium sized red potato or yellow onion inside the bird (where the head used to be) to seal in juices!
I like to use two piles of charcoals, one on either side of grill.
place bird on lower half of grill and cook on 350 or so until bird is done
the bird will get golden brown from the butter and seasonings so don't think the bird is cooking too much.
I normally cook by site, just because I've been grilling so often, don't hesitate to use a meat thermometer if you wish
normally takes up to an hour and a half to cook, ENJOY!!!
