Beer Can Chicken
Ingredients
-
- 1 can of beer
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- One 5-pound whole chicken (neck & giblets removed and discarded)
Instructions
-
Preheat grill to low heat (350-400 degrees F).
-
Pour out half of the beer and set aside to drink while you prepare this recipe. Spray the outside of the 1/2-filled beer can and holder with cooking spray and set aside.
-
Melt the butter, garlic, paprika, rosemary and black pepper together. Stir thoroughly so spices are mixed throughout, then pour 1/2 of the melted butter mixture into the beer can and set aside.
-
Rinse and pat dry chicken. Place the chicken over the beer can and holder. Baste with remaining 1/2 melted butter mixture. Place chicken/holder on grill grate, close lid and let cook for 1 hour. After 1 hour, check chicken for doneness. Cover the grill and cook the remaining 30 minutes or until done throughout.
