Beer Butt Chicken
Beer and chicken on the grill - how much more
manly can you get? A can of beer, literally stuffed up the
chicken's rear, makes it tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

In order
for a nice size chicken to fit on a can of beer,
you really need a 16 oz. can of beer. No need to
cut off top, just open it! Bon Appetite!
I tried
this.. lots of work for a dish that tastes like
an average chicken dish.
I placed
the chicken in a cake pan with 2 in. sides and
I'm glad I did. The chicken fell over towards the
end and all the beer spilled out. No biggie since
I had the pan under it.
I have
been doing this for about 4 years and have always
had great results. My question is do you know if
there is a health hazard with the heating of the
paint or metal of the can. Try this technique
with a Fosters BIG beer can and a turkey, it is
great.
Best
Chicken ever, cooked in 100 min. on a gas grill,
spray w/ olive oil, apple cider, left over beer
and balsamic vinegar every 30 min., and drink a
beer each time you spray!
this
recipe is also really great if you stuff onions,
garlic cloves and bell peppers in between the
meat and skin of the whole bird legs and all
makes the best tasting bird you'll ever have. i also make up a
batch of all my favorite seasonings and rub it all over the outside
of the bird.
I fixed these chickens
twice and they are moist and delicious. I will definitely fix any
chicken on the grill like this. Thanks for sharing this wonderful
recipe!
AWESOME chicken that's
moist and so tender it'll fall off the bone! I've made it with 2
Tbls. paprika and 2 Tbls. garlic salt . . . 1/2 the seasoned butter
mixture gets poured into a 1/2 empty can of beer with the other 1/2
of beer being added to the remaining seasoned butter, for basting. I
baste OFTEN and lay it on THICK for stronger, better flavor. Works
great with Turkey breast, too!
