BEER CAN CHICKEN



Beer Can Chicken image

Get ready for a tender, falling-off-the-bone whole chicken that's moist on the inside and crispy on the outside when you make this beer can chicken.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Dinner     Grill     Chicken     Chicken Roast     Grill     Grilled Chicken

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 4-pound whole chicken
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or other vegetable oil
1 opened, half-full can of beer, room temperature
1 tablespoon kosher salt or sea salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 Tbsp dried thyme
1 tablespoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill: If you are using charcoal, put the coals on one side of the grill, leaving another side free of coals. If you are using a gas grill, fire up only half of the burners.
  • Season the chicken and rub it with oil: Remove neck and giblets from cavity of chicken, if the chicken came with them. Mix the salt, pepper, and thyme in a little bowl, and rub it all over the chicken. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil.
  • Lower chicken onto half-filled beer can: Make sure the beer can is open, and only half-filled with beer (drink the other half!) If you want, you can put a sprig of thyme (or another herb like rosemary or sage) in the beer can. Lower the chicken on to the open can, so that the chicken is sitting upright, with the can in its cavity.
  • Carefully transfer the chicken to a tray or pan: I say "carefully" because the beer can, and the beer inside of it, is quite hot. One way to do this is to slide a metal spatula under the bottom of the beer can. Use tongs to hold the top of the chicken. Lift the chicken, beer can still inside, and move it to a tray. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes. Carefully lift the chicken off of the can. If it gets stuck, lay the chicken on its side, and pull out the can with tongs.

BEER CAN CHICKEN



Beer Can Chicken image

This is a deliciously moist chicken recipe. It's perfect for a BBQ on a hot summer day!

Provided by Hunter's Mom 2008

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

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. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mix into the top cavity of the chicken. The beer may foam up when the seasonings fall inside the can. Rub the remaining seasoning mix over the entire surface of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken, standing on the can, directly on the preheated grill. Close the lid and barbeque the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 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 chicken from the grill and discard the beer can. 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 3½ to 4-pound whole chicken for even cooking.
  • Pat the chicken dry: This helps the herbs and spices adhere to the skin.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to create a flavorful crust.
  • Stuff the chicken cavity: With aromatics like garlic, lemon, and herbs for extra flavor.
  • Use a beer can stand: This helps the chicken stand upright and keeps it from tipping over.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before adding the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken indirectly: Move the chicken to the indirect heat zone of the grill and cook it for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest: Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
