The Best Beer Can Chicken Recipe
This is the best beer can chicken recipe and will be the easiest thing that you make all summer. It's absolutely delicious, moist, and perfectly cooked on the grill every time.
Ingredients
- Whole chicken
- Half a can of beer
- Chicken seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, about 375 degrees F.
- Coat the chicken with chicken seasoning. We love to use the Club House Montreal Chicken spice from Costco.
- Drink half of the beer and carefully place the chicken onto the open, half-full can.
- Place the bird on a 5-8" cast iron skillet, balanced on the can, standing upright.
- Next, place the chicken directly onto the preheated grill.
- A baking sheet or oven-safe dish works to place the beer can on as well.
- Cook for 50-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the grill using heat-safe gloves.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving it.
Notes
- This beer can chicken can be made on the grill or baked in the oven.
