I have been Christmas shopping for my man and I keep picking up BBQ stuff, My Daddy LOVES his girl. Hehe I meant grill! I found a fun gadget on zulilly. It was a rack for a beer can for a whole chicken. Wow I thought he would love that. I bought it, and I hid the gift in my big box o gifts.
We were lying in bed and he says "Baby, Lets make a beer chicken for Labor day"...... Hmmmm this is the second gift I have had to pull out because I read his mind on a regular.
We made the chickens without the rack we used 40oz cans and they sit straight up on the grill just fine. They came out so moist and delicious!!
Ingredients
1 whole chicken
1 can Beer
Spice Rub
4tbsp garlic salt
1/4c brown sugar
2tbsp smoked paprika
1tsp cayenne pepper
Method
Season chicken with Spice Rub, Make sure you rub down chicken under skin too.. I put mine in a zip lock bag over night
Pour out (or drink) half of beer.Insert into cavity of chicken.
Prepare grill for high, indirect heat charcoal grill, bank coals on 1 side of grill and put drip
pan on empty side; Add water to pan to a depth of 1/2".
Place cavity of
chicken, legs pointing down, onto open can so that it supports chicken
upright. Place can, with chicken, on grill over indirect heat (and above
drip pan).
Grill chicken, covered, until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 45-60 minutes. Let chicken rest 10 minutes before carving.
