Assuming your cans have two labels on them, front and back, you will need 3 cans (if your cans have only 1 label each, you will need 5 cans).

Recipe Summary Bbq Beer Can Chicken

I tried several beer can chicken recipes and changed the ingredients up until I found one the whole family loves!!

Ingredients | Crochet Beer Can Cowboy Hat Pattern

2 cups cherry wood chips

2 (12 fluid ounce) cans beer, half full

½ cup dark brown sugar

½ cup kosher salt

½ cup paprika

¼ cup ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ cup vegetable oil

2 (3 pound) whole chickens

Directions

Soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour.

Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect medium heat, about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix together dark brown sugar, kosher salt, paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Place two half full cans of beer on a baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon seasoning mix into each can. Be careful, this will make the beer foam up and out of the can.

Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Rub each chicken with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Rub the remaining seasoning mix over the entire chicken, inside and out. Fit each chicken over a can of beer with the legs on the bottom; keep upright.

Drain the wood chips and place them with the coals or in an aluminum pan on or under the grill grate as directed by the grill's manual. Place the two chickens, standing on their cans directly on the grill. Close the lid and barbeque the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chickens from the grill and discard the beer cans. Cover the chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Check the chickens after an hour on the grill, if they are beginning to brown too much, loosely cover the tops of the birds with aluminum foil and continue to cook with the lid closed.

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the beer, oil, and spice rub ingredients. The actual amount of these ingredients consumed will vary.
