(Beer) Can Chicken
Note: Using a half can of beer for this dish makes for a nice, moist chicken which can be eaten plain, or used in other dishes (don’t worry – very little of the beer actually ends up in the final product). Gluten intolerant or hate beer? Feel free to substitute another liquid – chicken stock poured into a can works just as well!
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
1/2 can of beer (or other liquid) – regular or large size both work
1/2 cup of dry rub of your choice – try paprika, black pepper, and a touch of brown sugar, or mixed Italian herbs, or even a low-salt seasoning blend
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub outside of chicken with dry rub.
2. Place 1/2 can of beer/liquid “standing” in a roasting pan.
3. Carefully slide chicken over beer can so chicken is “squatting” in the pan.
4. Cook chicken for 40 minutes, then cover loosely with aluminum foil.
5. Continue cooking another 45-60 minutes (depending on size of bird); until completely cooked.
6. To Serve, carefully remove chicken from beer can – watch for steam or you will burn yourself!
Note: It is sometimes easier to ‘tip over’ the chicken and let the beer drain out before handling.
Note: Also works great on a barbecue. Use the same preparation method, and grill with lid on. Be sure to use a drip pan under the chicken to prevent excess smoke.
