Zubereitung von Awesome Beer Can Chicken
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 350-375°F).
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps achieve crispy skin.
- Gently loosen the skin around the chicken breast and thighs. This will help the flavor penetrate.
- Place 12 oz of your favorite beer (leaving about an inch of space at the top) into a standard 12 oz aluminum can.
- Carefully insert the beer can into the chicken cavity. Ensure it is upright and stable.
- Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Place the chicken on the grill grates, ensuring it is positioned upright on the can.
- Cook for approximately 70 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F.
- Baste the chicken with BBQ sauce during the last 20 minutes of cooking for extra flavor and glaze.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
