Beer Can Chicken
Heat grill to 350 degrees if electric or gas grill or until charcoal is covered with a fine gray ash. Use whole frying chickens about 3 pounds each. You’ll need one chicken for every two people. Remove the innards from the chicken. Rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub chickens with olive or melted butter. Salt and pepper to taste. And here’s the fun part. Place each chicken over an open can of beer as if the chicken was sitting on the beer can. The can of beer is inside the bird’s cavity and the bird should remain upright. Place each bird on the grill and close grill cover. Check every 15 minutes. Chickens should be done in 45 minutes give or take 15 minutes. The beer evaporates over the heat, flavors the chicken and keeps it moist.
