How to Make Cajun Borracho Chicken Drunken Beer Can Chicken

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 350-400°F).
  2. Rinse a whole chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs) thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat.
  3. Generously season the chicken inside and out with 2 tablespoons of your favorite Cajun seasoning. Don't be shy with the spice!
  4. Open a 12-ounce can of beer and drink about 1/4 of it. Insert the remaining beer into the chicken cavity.
  5. Carefully place the chicken upright on the grill grates, using the beer can as a stand.
  6. Grill with the lid closed for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
