Beer Can Chicken

I made the juiciest chicken ever yesterday! Not only was it juicy and full of flavor, it was probably the most entertaining time I've had cooking on a grill. In case you haven't heard of Beer Can Chicken before here is the quick 10 second explanation: basically you take a whole chicken, season it to taste, crack open a beer, drink half of it, and insert the rest into the chicken, cook over med-high heat for about an hour. But the photos tell it way better:

It all starts with one whole chicken



Get your beer out and take a few gulps while you season the bird



Turn your grill on med-high and slide beer into chicken



It should look like this. Use the legs to help stabilize (think tripod)



Go make margarita's (optional)



You may have a bird that has some excess gas problems, to prevent an overly burnt chicken make sure you turn the burner that is directly under the chicken OFF



The beer will boil on the inside of the chicken, keeping the insides from drying out



Cook for 1 hour, it should look like this when done



Beer can chicken is a meal you can serve to even your most distinguished guests



Just look at those juices!



Perfect!

Highly recommended if you get the chance!
