Beer Can Chicken

Lia Soneson

Try our beer can chicken! It’s a fun, easy way to grill a whole chicken that’s juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside! Simply season a whole chicken, pop it on top of an open beer can that’s held in a vertical roaster, and let it grill to perfection on the grill. As the beer heats up, it steams the chicken from within keeping it tender while also infusing subtle flavors.

Beer Can Chicken
Serves about 4

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (4-5 pounds)
2/3 of a 12oz can of beer (we used a light lager)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Juice of 1 small lemon
2-3 whole garlic cloves
Fresh parsley, minced for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Prep the chicken. Remove the giblets and any excess fat from the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Rub all over with olive oil. Sprinkle with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper all over as well.

2. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, celery salt, cayenne, and brown sugar. Mix the spices together until combined.

3. Rub the chicken all over with the spice mixture. Sprinkle a little inside the bird, as well!

4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

5. Prep the beer! Pop the can and pour out (or drink!) about 1/3 of the 12 ounces. Add the juice of half of a lemon and the cloves of garlic to the can.

6. Using a vertical roaster rack, place the open beer can in the middle. Mount the chickenover the can and rack.

7. Carefully place the chicken and its stand on the hot grill. Close the grill lid and roast for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or untilthe internal temperature of thechicken reaches 165 F whenmeasured in the thickest part ofthe thigh and breast. Rotate thechicken every 20 minutes,as needed, for even cooking.

8. Carefully remove the chicken from the grill. Before carving, let the chickenrest for 10 minutes to allowthe juices to redistribute.

9. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy the juicy, flavorful results!
