Berer Can Chicken

[Brewster21]

I highly recommend the book Meathead by Meathead Goldwyn for all things BBQing.

Here’s an article where he looks at the beer can and it’s impact on the chicken

That's an interesting article but he states that the liquid never gets hot enough to steam the chicken, he's wrong the one that I did almost boiled away and no burnt skin on the outside either, I think it's down to the set-up really, but worth a read anyway.

Gimmicky.

Surely the purpose of bbq anything is to get wood smoke flavour into the meat. Therefore bunging up the cavity with can is counterproductive. A better way to bbq chicken is to spatchcock it, it'll cook more evenly and will take bbq flavours from all sides, both through smoke and rub.

Drink the beer if its palatable half fill the can with chicken stock stick the chicken on the can and away you go. Mind you I have never cooked chicken this way, I always brine mine overnight.
