Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 (12 ounce) can your favorite beer
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons BBQ sauce, ketchup, or HP(R) sauce (your choice)
- 1 whole roasting chicken
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (or herbs of your choice)
- 4 strips bacon
Preparation method
Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 2 hours1.
Preheat a charcoal grill for medium heat, or an oven to 350 degrees F.
2.
Step 1: drink 1/4 of the beer. Put the soy sauce and the BBQ sauce into the can with the remaining beer and place the can onto a beer can chicken rack.
3.
Rub the chicken with the olive oil and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Rub the chopped rosemary into the chicken, making sure the skin is evenly covered with rosemary. Wrap the chicken with the bacon strips and secure with toothpicks.
4.
Place the chicken onto the beer can chicken rack by sliding the chicken downwards so that the can holder fills the empty cavity which will secure it so that it will not fall over during cooking.
5.
Place the chicken onto the preheated grill and cover. Or place the beer can chicken rack onto a baking dish and place into the oven.
6.
Cook until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the skin is golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The slower the chicken cooks the better. This allows the moisture from the beer to infuse the cooking bird. Check regularly to ensure that the skin is not getting burnt.
7.
Check if the chicken is done by inserting the tip of a sharp knife into the thigh near the bone to see if the escaping liquid is clear. If is is pink or bloody, the chicken needs more time. Let the chicken rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before carving on a carving board.
