Beer Can Chicken.
This is Beer Can Chicken. Yes, it is exactly how it sounds. And looks. Delish, right? It’s a beer can shoved up the nether regions of a chicken carcass. YUM. Here’s what to do:
Tip 1: Before we get started. Make sure that the can of beer fits inside the chicken. You don’t want to fight with this issue over a live fire.
Tip 2: Make sure that the place you are going to place this bird is tall enough for a chicken to sit up in. You don’t want to lower the lid on your grill only to find that the chicken doesn’t fit.
The only ingredients for this recipe are:
- 1 whole 5 to 6 pound chicken
- 1 can of beer
- 1 cup spice rub
1. You want to cut the top of the can off the beer can. This maximizes the flow of moisture from the beer to the bird. Most any can opener can be used to cut the top off a beer can. Works great. You will need to get rid of half the beer from the can some how. I leave that up to you. Next add 1/2 cup of your spice rub to the can and give it a quick stir. The can is now ready.
2. Take the other half of your spice rub and apply it to the chicken. Don’t worry too much about getting it on the skin. Skin won’t let flavor reach the meat so you need to work your spice rub in, under the skin as much as possible. Get it inside the chicken as well.
3. Place the beer can on the grill right where you want the bird to be.
4. Put the chicken onto it’s throne.
5. And as Mortal Kombat would say: FINISH HIM.
