Beer can chicken

• power i

  

  I've always heard others talk about this but never tried it. Saturday the hubby decides we're gonna do it and it was THE BEST chicken I've ever had. Moist doesn't even begin to describe it. I will most definetely be making this again. And again.
  
  I just rubbed some EVOO on the bird then rubbed it with a pre-made poultry seasoning I got at the store. Hubby drank half the beer and put some seasoning in the can. Put the can in the hole, put it in an aluminum pan and left it on the grill for an hour and fifteen minutes over low, indirect heat.
  
  So who's made it and how to you make yours?

  Make it pretty much the same way you make yours. I put a small onion or half a potato in the neck. Keeps the juices in.

  Use full beers not half. Season inside the bird too. Like the steam stopper as a small onion placed in the neck. I use the oven and cook it low and slow for about 4 hours at 200 degrees. I don't use premade seasoning, I use some homemade stuff, garlic, seasoned salt, rosemary and thyme.

  Easily the best way to make chicken, and it's super easy. Little trick is to peel the skin back and season as well, this helps the rub infuse w/ the meat.

  Wait, what do you do to the bird? I don't get it.

  fresh rosemary stuffed down the cavity is good too.

  Watching the fumes roll off of an aluminum can after you throw it into the fire is enough to make me pass on the beer can chicken idea. I know we're not talking about the same temperatures here, but still...
  
  I have yet to find anything better to do with a chicken than quartering it, marinating it in italian dressing all day, cooking it over a charcoal fire, and slathering it with BBQ sauce.
