Widest Selection Of New & Used Books. Sub any canned soft drink or even chicken broth for the beer. I omitted the chili powder and added some cayenne pepper and ground sage.

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have beer can chicken using 4 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Beer Can Chicken:
  1. Make ready 1 whole chicken (4-5 lbs)
  2. Make ready Unsalted butter
  3. Make ready To taste chicken seasoning (not poultry seasoning, the two are different)
  4. Take 1 (16 ounce) can beer, whichever kind you fancy (I used Corona)

Poke additional holes in top of the can with a can opener. Holding the chicken with legs pointed down, lower chicken over the can so it fills the body cavity. Hold the chicken above the can of beer and slide the chicken over the can. Fold the wings back behind the chicken.

Steps to make Beer Can Chicken:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and set the rack at the lowest position.
  2. Remove the giblets from the chicken and rinse the whole thing off.
  3. Get a deep baking pan, preferably a metal one, and line it with foil. (As you see in the picture, I forgot to do that and what a mess!) Open the beer, remove the pop top and position it in the middle of the pan. (I used a specially bought roaster for this process but I’m sure not everyone has one. If you do, repeat above steps, pouring the beer into the reservoir.)
  4. Shove the chicken butt down on the can/roaster, making sure it’s a tight fit.
  5. Rub the whole chicken with the butter and then liberally sprinkle the seasoning onto it, rubbing it in as well.
  6. Cook for 2 hours or until the little thermometer pops up.
  7. Let it rest for about 10 minutes then serve with a couple of side dishes and enjoy!!

Make sure the legs are in front of the can, supporting the chicken. Lower the chicken on to the open can, so that the chicken is sitting upright, with the can in its cavity. There's quite a bit of lore surrounding beer-can chicken, and for good reason. Just look at that burnished mahogany bird. The steam from the brew flavors the meat and keeps it moist.
