Beer can chicken is so good. However, it can be a pain to make if you aren't sure how to do it. These incredible tips will make it so simple, you'll be stunned!
The Tips For Making Delicious Beer Can Chicken Include:
1 Ready bird
It’s important to make sure that the bird can stand up inside your grill with the lid completely shut. I find that a 3-4-pounder works best.2 Dress her up
Remove giblets, pat, bird dry with paper towel, rub it all over with a drizzle of olive oil. I like to sprinkle on a nice BBQ spice rub — either something store-bought or DIY-style.3 Prepare throne
Beer is a fantastic steaming agent, infusing the meat with moisture and rich flavor. I recommend using a tall boy if your bird's big enough, since it's guaranteed to keep the chicken upright, but a regular old 12-ounce is just fine. Go with something malt-forward and low in alcohol. Almost any lager, pale or mild, will work. Once you’ve got your can cracked, drain half of it, poke few extra holes in top, toss in garlic cloves, lemon slices, and a bay leaf.
I think stopping by Costco might be easier. All done and ready to go.
