Beer Can Chicken
So simple way to make a chicken as good as a
store bought rotisserie.... Turn your BBQ on high on outside burners...2 middle
should be off or on very low to prevent flare ups.... Let it heat up...In the
meantime clean and pat dry your chicken and oil it and season it according to
liking... the oil is going to help create that beautiful brown crust...If you
don't eat the skin then don't worry about the calories...If you eat the skin
well a little oil isn't going to phase your system then. Take a large beer can
16 ounce I used and dumped half of the beer out...you wont taste the beer so
don't fret it...but if all else dump the beer out and add herbs and chicken
broth in the can. Then place beer can on grill place chicken over the beer can
like you see and I use the top rack to lean chicken on and rest the wings ...it
looks funny but the taste in phenomenal! I let it cook for an hour at 450-500.
My BBQ has a built in thermometer. When the thickest part of chicken (thigh area
and breast I read) reads 170-180 I pull chicken off and rest 10 minutes on a big
plate. After resting if you pull wing it should just separate from joint
easily..another way you know chicken is done... and pull leg and the leg and
thigh should just come off carcass easily with a slight pull. Then cut breast
off and serve. Be great way to have a chicken mashed potato meal in the summer
without heating the house. Enjoy!
