Beer-in-the-rear Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Wash and pat dry the chicken. Season the outside with seasoning salt. (if you like other herbs, this is the time to sprinkle them on)
  • If cooking with charcoal, lay the charcoal in a circle leaving the center open. Light and let cook down to glowing.
  • Grab the beer, now pour off 1/4 cup (I prefer to drink mine, BONUS)
  • Insert the sprig of rosemary into the can of beer.
  • Insert the can (keep upright) into the chicken cavity. Place chicken supported on beer can in center of grill.
  • Occasionally rotate chicken. Check often, chicken is done when juices run clear when pierced with fork. It takes about 1 hour total
  • Carefully dischard the can and cut chicken into halfs or quarters

    Plug the neck of the chicken with a half an onion. Chop the rest very finely and put some in the cavity of the bird. I have a vertical chicken roaster that I place the chicken on. (Got it at Walmart.) I set the roaster in a disposable pie pan, and then sprinkle chopped onion around the bottom. This is THE best way to roast a chicken!! It comes out juicy, moist, and tender. When the weather is not conducive to grilling, I roast it in the oven at 350 degrees.

    This makes the moistest chicken ever. I baste mine with a mixture of 1/2 cup melted butter mixxed with 2 tablespoons garlic powder, n 2 tablespoons paprika. I brush this all over the chicken after placed on can n grill.

    It is fairly 'rude' and invasive on our part....but once you taste how juicy and tender it makes it....all quilt is out the wind....

    I have made this many times...I have to admit, though, I always feel a little "funny" when I put the bird on the can; like we need to be introduced first :)

    I love beer-in-the-rear chicken!! Always a hit with the guests.
    I suggest rubbing on lots of oregano, i do that and it adds so much flavour. Nice post.
