Beer Can Chicken.

It may sound weird, but its taste stands to be different from its weird sounding name. Beer Can Chicken is actually a chicken recipe, known for it’s yummy, mouth watering meal result, as well as its very easy to do steps.

The basics of Beer Can Chicken start with gathering the necessary ingredients for the recipe. To make Beer Can Chicken, one needs to have the following:

1 whole chicken (at the very least 4 pounds), 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 3 tablespoons of any dry spice, preferably one’s favorite, and 1 can of beer.

In preparing Beer Can Chicken, one begins by opening the can of beer, and taking sips from it as one cleans the dressed chicken. One should take note that only half the can of beer is actually needed for the Beer Can Chicken recipe to work, so sips should stop once half of the beer in the can is consumed.

After cleaning the chicken, rub it with the dry spice, pepper and salt, then followed by rubbing the vegetable oil all over the chicken. Place the half full beer can in the middle of the grill, followed by putting the “treated” chicken over it, putting it in a way that the beer can appears to be inside the chicken itself.

Let the chicken cook on medium high for 1 ¼ hours. Once the chicken’s internal temperature reaches a 165 degrees F, it is basically ready. Take it out from the grill, and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving it.

Viola! Beer Can Chicken.

The basic principle of Beer Can Chicken isn’t really that hard to understand. Because one “adds” beer into the whole recipe, it is definitely good, as beer is good. By placing the beer where it is while cooking, you’ve given the chicken a source of moisture, keeping its meat away from drying. The malt and yeast in the beer also reacts with the chicken itself, leaving its skin crispy, while its meat is tender and juicy.

The Beer Can Chicken could actually be a “preparatory phase” for certain recipes or could be the whole meal itself. Bottom line, Beer Can Chicken is sure to be much more tender, much more juicier, with its skin crispier.

Beer Can Chicken. It may sound weird, but its taste is sure to make you overlook its weird sounding name.
