BEER-CAN CHICKEN WITH WHITE BBQ SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Beer-Can Chicken with White BBQ Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by AliceV

Number Of Ingredients 19

WHITE BBQ SAUCE:
1 whole chicken (approximately 4 to 5-pounds)
4 tablespoons sweet paprika, or mild smoked paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chile de arbol or red-pepper flakes, or to taste
1 can beer, ideally yellow in hue, with the top half consumed or poured off
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon mustard powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill, leaving approximately half the grilling area free of coals. If using a gas grill, turn burners to high and then, when ready to cook, turn off the burner on the side where you will place the chicken. If using an oven, heat to 425°F. Remove neck and giblets from chicken. Rinse the chicken in cold water. Pat dry. Combine all the spices in a large bowl, then apply the dry rub to the chicken, inside and out. Put the beer can on a solid surface. Pick up the chicken and, taking a leg in each hand, put the cavity over the can and slide the bird down onto it. Carefully transfer the bird and the can to the cool side of your grill, its back to the fire, balancing the chicken upright and using the legs to support it in this position. If using an oven, place the chicken upright in a roasting pan using the same method and place carefully into the heat. Cover the grill and cook for approximately 1-1/4 hours, basting with barbecue sauce twice during the final half-hour, until the breast meat registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer or until the legs are loose in their sockets. (If you're using an oven, you can tent the bird with foil after 45 minutes to keep the skin from getting too dark.) De-can and carve. Serve with white barbecue sauce and corn bread. White BBQ sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish and mustard powder in a medium nonreactive bowl, and whisk until smooth. Add salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Brush on grilled or roasted chicken during the end of the cooking process, and pass remaining sauce at the table.

BEER-CAN CHICKEN



Beer-Can Chicken image

The moist environment created by smoke-roasting a chicken vertically, atop a half-full can of beer, turns out to be a nearly fail-safe way to achieve barbecue perfection. A smoky-sweet dry rub adds complexity. The dish can also be made in an oven, in a roasting pan. (You can even buy stainless-steel vertical roasting stands for this very purpose.) What follows is a recipe for a traditional, spice-rubbed version of the dish. But once you have dialed in your technique, feel free to experiment. Coating the chicken with a paste of miso, mirin and soy, then replacing the beer in the can with sake, is one way to start.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ (12 fluid ounce) can beer
1 (3 pound) whole chicken

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, dry mustard, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Place the half-full can of beer in the center of a plate.
  • Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Fit whole chicken over the can of beer with the legs on the bottom; keep upright.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ALABAMA WHITE BARBECUE SAUCE



Grilled Chicken with Alabama White Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 12-ounce bottles amber beer, chilled
1 head garlic, split crosswise
2 fresh bay leaves
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
Two 4-pound chickens, cut into 8 pieces each
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons drained prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco, for seasoning

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a pot large enough to hold the chicken, combine the sugar, 1/4 cup salt and 2 cups cold water. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Pour in the beer and add the garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. Submerge the chicken in the brine. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the Alabama white barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, sugar and Worcestershire in a medium bowl until smooth. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, hot sauce to taste and a liberal grinding of black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to cook the chicken. (Can be made a day ahead, along with the chicken brine.)
  • Prepare a grill for medium indirect grilling. Drain and rinse the chicken and pat very dry. Season the chicken lightly with salt and more liberally with black pepper. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.
  • Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil and lay the chicken, bone-side down, on the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover and cook until the skin is golden and the chicken is about three-quarters cooked (130 to 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer), 20 to 25 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces so they are skin-side down and continue indirect grilling until the chicken is cooked through and reads 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes more.
  • Brush the chicken all over with some of the Alabama white barbecue sauce and move the chicken, skin-side down, to the direct heat side of the grill. Grill just until the skin crisps, about 3 minutes, moving as necessary to keep it from burning. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the remaining Alabama white sauce on the side for dipping.

BEER CAN CHICKEN



Beer can chicken image

This method of cooking a chicken may look a little undignified, but it is guaranteed to keep the meat really tender and juicy

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1.8kg chicken
3 tbsp olive oil
440ml can of beer
1 tbsp muscovado sugar
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp English mustard powder
2 tsp thyme
1½ tsp celery salt

Steps:

  • Light a lidded barbecue. Let the flames die down and the coals turn ashen, then mound the coal up on one side. If using a small barbecue, you will have to remove the grills and place a sturdy roasting tin on the floor of the barbecue, next to the coals - this will give you space to close the lid once the chicken is in. If you have a large barbecue, the chicken can sit directly on the grills (or on a tray on the grills, so that it doesn't topple over.)
  • To make the rub, mix all the ingredients together with a good grinding of black pepper. Drizzle the chicken with the oil, sprinkle over the rub and massage it into the skin, making sure you get into all the nooks and crannies, even inside the cavity.
  • Use a can opener to take off the top of the can of beer. Pour out half the beer (tip into a glass to drink!) and leave the rest in the can, as it will keep the chicken moist while it cooks. Pop the chicken onto the can, legs down, so that it looks like it is sitting upright with the can in its cavity. Stand the chicken and can upright on the barbecue, either in the roasting tin or directly on the grill, on the side with no coals. Close the lid and cook for 1 hr 20 mins until the chicken is browned, the meat tender and the juices run clear. If the juices aren't clear, cook for a further 10 mins, then check again. (To cook in the oven, heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Sit the chicken on a baking tray, place in the bottom of the oven, and follow the same cooking time.)
  • Remove the chicken from the barbecue, cover lightly with foil and leave to rest for 20 mins before serving.

BBQ BEER CAN CHICKEN



BBQ Beer Can Chicken image

I tried several beer can chicken recipes and changed the ingredients up until I found one the whole family loves!!

Provided by mark'n'karen

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cherry wood chips
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans beer, half full
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup kosher salt
½ cup paprika
¼ cup ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 (3 pound) whole chickens

Steps:

  • Soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect medium heat, about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix together dark brown sugar, kosher salt, paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Place two half full cans of beer on a baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon seasoning mix into each can. Be careful, this will make the beer foam up and out of the can.
  • Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Rub each chicken with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Rub the remaining seasoning mix over the entire chicken, inside and out. Fit each chicken over a can of beer with the legs on the bottom; keep upright.
  • Drain the wood chips and place them with the coals or in an aluminum pan on or under the grill grate as directed by the grill's manual. Place the two chickens, standing on their cans directly on the grill. Close the lid and barbeque the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chickens from the grill and discard the beer cans. Cover the chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken that is 3 to 4 pounds in size. A larger chicken will not cook evenly on the beer can.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry. Remove the giblets and neck from the chicken cavity.
  • Season the chicken: Rub the chicken all over with your favorite seasonings. You can use a pre-made seasoning blend or create your own. Some popular seasonings include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the chicken on the beer can: Open a can of beer and drink about half of it. Place the chicken on top of the beer can, so that the can is inserted into the chicken cavity. The beer will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken: Place the chicken on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the white BBQ sauce: While the chicken is cooking, make the white BBQ sauce. In a saucepan, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve the chicken with the white BBQ sauce.

Conclusion:

Beer can chicken with white BBQ sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the white BBQ sauce is tangy and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
