Directions
Barbecued Beer Can Chicken, This is simply the best beer can chicken I have ever had. You first rub a spice mixture over the chicken, then baste it with a delicious glaze. We’ve had it many times this summer. Winter’s coming, and I can’t wait to try it in the oven! This recipe makes two chickens; simply cut it in half if you prefer just one., Delicious!!! Maybe the bbq smoker made a difference? Very tasty & tender! Recommended! DS says it’s best he’s had after 3 recipes this summer. Now we bought perhaps a better quality chicken from whole foods as well. Fell off the bone & moist after 1hr. Thank u for another great recipe. Keep em coming, Made this tonight used my traeger smoker put it on smoke for 20 mins then turned it up to 325 for the rest of the cook, it is the best chicken I’ve ever made what a killer recipe

Turn Off All but Primary Grill Burners, Leaving Main Burners on High For My Grill, I Leave Two Burners on, but This Will Depend on How Many Burners Your Grill Has -- Mine Has Three. the Temperature Inside Your Grill Should Stay Around 375. Place Chickens on Cans; Place on Cool Part of Grill, Using Drumsticks to Stabilize Them. Cover and Grill Until Skin Is Very Well Browned and Very Crisp, 40 to 60 Minutes. Brush With Ketchup Glaze and Grill, Covered, Until Thigh Meat Registers 170 Degrees on Instant-Read Thermometer, About 20 Minutes Longer. |
