Cuisine: Beer Can Chicken

Preparation: SET UP YOUR BBQ FOR APPROX. ONE HOUR COVERED COOK AT MEDIUM HEAT

Take 2-4 2 ½ – 3 lbs chicken, season liberally inside and out with any favorite seasoning blend.
Take 1 16 oz can of beer per chicken.
Chop onion and garlic.

Instructions: Start your bbq and season the chickens. Open the 16 oz cans of beer and pour out 2 oz. Fill with chop onion and garlic. Holding the chicken with the legs down position the can of beer into the cavity of the chicken. Attempt to stand the chicken and beer can upright using the legs as a brace. With the chicken and beer in this position place in the bbq and cover. Check heat and browning every 15 minutes. You may wish to rotate chickens on the grill for a more even browning.

The heat from the bbq causes the beer to steam the inside of the chicken for a very moist roast chicken. Try this sometime in the summer it is easy and fun.

Wine to Match: Jonathan recommends the Cosentino Zinfandel
