Beer Can Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Clean a whole chicken; remove giblets. Rinse chicken inside and out under cold water, drain and blot dry.
  • Rub poultry seasoning to the outside of the chicken skin and the cavity. Experiment with various seasonings.
  • Open a can of beer or soda and drink about half of it. Place the can with the other half of the liquid in the stainless steel rack.
  • Position the chicken over the can on the stainless steel rack. Stuff a small potato or onion in the neck cavity. This will keep the moisture inside the chicken. I have also use an apple.
  • Put the chicken in either a pie tin or aluminum foil (pinch up to form a rim). Add about 1/4 cup of water.
  • Heat your grill on one side to medium-high. Place the chicken on the non-heated side of the grill. Cook until the thigh registers 180°F. This takes from 45 minutes to an hour on our grill. The skin should be golden brown and crisp.
  • Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Then remove the chicken from the rack.
  • Carve the chicken.
