Directions
Beer Can Chicken, (Also known as Drunken Chicken), I made this for the first time today Cooked a 6 1/4 lb fresh hen on the Weber kettle I kept it very basic the first time and only used kosher salt and ground pepper outside the bird It turned out fantastic and only took about three hours I put half an onion in the neck to help keep the steam in Next time I will use a rub and try putting some herbs in the beer can By the way, I hate the taste of beer but the beer flavor cooks away and you end up with moist flavorful meat used hickory wood chunks and the meat had a wonderful smoky flavor You have to try it!, This was certainly the most moist and tender chicken we have ever made – we could hardly believe that a home-cooked chicken could turn out to be so good We followed the prep and cooking directions exactly, using our gas grill, and for a little added flavor, basted with chipotle barbecue sauce every 10 minutes for the last 1/2 hour of cooking This is sure to become a staple of grilling – we look forward to trying different beers, rubs, and sauces in the recipe

Place Chicken Over the Top of Beer Can So That It Goes Into the Cavity. I Place Mine in a Shallow Foil Pan, So That I Catch the Juices, Which Then Could Be Used to Make Gravy or Stock. Now Place Chicken on the Grill Over an Area That Is not Over Direct Heat, Cover and Cook For One Hour and Thirty Minutes or More, as the Size of the Chicken Will Determine When It Will Be Cooked Through,Until There Are No Red Juices, It Is Done. |
