Beer can chicken

Ingredients

One roasting chicken for every four guests (4-5 lb bird)

You will need more chicken per guest if everyone has the same preference. In other words if all your friends like white meat you will need more chickens to make it work.

Your favorite meat rub

One 12oz can of Beer! per bird

Preparation;

preheat your grill or light your charcoal

can be done in an oven at 350 degrees but the grill is the best way

rinse your chicken

sprinkle your meat rub onto and into the bird

massage it into the skin both the outside the bird and the inside cavity

open the Beer! pour a couple of ozs into a cup for you to drink

using a church key can opener make four more wholes into the top of the can

put one teaspoon of meat rub into the beer can

slide the chicken onto the can

now the chicken should be on the can legs pointed downward

place the can with chicken onto a heavy baking or roasting pan

place pan directly onto grill at medium heat and close the lid

Cooking time

After 90 mins pierce the chicken if the juices run clear(not red) it is done. A good place to check is between the thigh and the body.

If not continue to cook beer can chicken checking every ten minutes

It is almost impossible to over cook bird with this method so relax and finish the six pack while waiting

NOTE; Root Beer or any other non diet soft drink can be substituted for the beer.

No more messing with a floppy bird. Poultry Pal has revolutionized the Beer Can Chicken experience. This is not one of those wire frame, burn the chicken legs black methods, this is truly a time and frustration saver.
Save some for me!	Mmmm the smell of burning beer can!
Give me a piece of the unburnt one please.	Isn't this how Towering Inferno started?
This is how broiled chicken should look. Golden brown and basted with beer without the foul burnt can taste.
I personally did this test and can tell you that I will only use Poultry Pal from this point forward. I can out cook any man alive and a few women. If I say use it the only reason you wouldn't is you like the taste of burnt chicken and the family scouls you get when you bring it to the table.
