Beer Can Chicken on the Grill… How to Get it Right


The first meat that I ever wanted to cook on a barbecue was a whole chicken using the Beer-Can Chicken,  and I've never really given much thought as to why this was the case.  Probably something to do with "the boy with a new toy" mind set.


I mean hey - cooking a whole chicken on the grill is just cool!  Add in that it's cooked by sitting on a beer can and well... hey - you've got a party in your grill!



Steven Raichlen's Beer-Can Chicken game the the low down on the ho-down I needed to get my beer-can chicken rocking.

In a nutshell, I followed his preparation steps and ended up with pretty darned near the best chicken I've ever tasted - with awesome crispy skin goodness and the most succulent, flavorful meat.


My next adventure is to try his recipe for Beer-Can Turkey, which  uses one of those awesome 32-ounce oil cans of Foster's to get the job done.
