Instructions
- Preheat one side of your grill to medium-high heat (400° to 450°). We will cook this using the indirect heat method by placing the chicken on the side of the grill where there is no direct heat underneath.
- Add the whole chicken to a large bowl and thoroughly coat it inside and out with oil.
- Next, add about ¾ of the seasonings to the chicken and rub it in to cover it.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ of the seasoning blend in the oiled cavity and rub it in as well.
- Place a half-full beer in the center of a 10” cast iron skillet or sauté pan.
- Put the chicken on the beer by wrapping the cavity opening around it.
- Stand the chicken upright and then place it on the side of the grill where there is no heat directly underneath and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until it is browned and reads 165° in the breast and thigh.
- Add optional garnishes of parsley and sliced green onions.
- You can serve it as is or carve the chicken and serve it.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is best when eaten as soon as it’s done cooking. However, you can keep this warm in a pan covered in the oven at low temperatures (<200°) for up to 30 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Place the beer can chicken covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This will freeze well-covered for up to 3 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator or until thawed before using.
- How to Reheat: Place the chicken in a pan with ½ cup of water. Cover with foil and bake in the oven at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until hot.
- To boost the flavor, use the brine in my best-fried chicken recipe.You can c
- ustomize this chicken by adding a zesty rub like in my BBQ Rub, Southwest Rub, or Cajun Rub.
