Directions
Smoked Chicken on a Beer Can, From my hero of the grill, Rob Rainford This to me is the ultimate beer can chicken recipe and the ultimate treat for me! The leftovers make awesome sandwiches, especially grilled cheese sandwiches with monterey jack and some salsa , Wow this was great! Only change I made was to use sherry instead of brandy because of what I had on hand Excellent directions and the result was super moist with the perfect amount of smoke flavour
