Beer Can Chicken Recipe

These two 3-4lb. roasters are so tender and juicy that they dance on the fire! Some say it's the beer that makes these chickens dance, but try this recipe yourself and see what happens. -BBQ Pit Boys

Ingredients:
2 (3-4lbs each) Roasting Chickens
One large sliced Sweet Onion
Your favorite salad oil
Olive oil and Soy Sauce
2 12oz. cans of beer
Salt and Pepper

Fire up your charcoal or gas grill to 325-350f. Clean and pat dry two fresh roasting chickens. Thoroughly rub the salad oil all over the chickens. Salt and pepper.

Insert 1/2 to 3/4 full can of beer in each cavity as shown in the video. Place the chickens upright, opposite the hot coals and then cover your grill. Mop the chickens every 20-30 minutes or so with a basting liquid like the Oil and Soy sauce we use, or better yet, choose your own. Remove from the BBQ grill when the temperature of the chickens reach 185f. internal. Let rest for 15 minutes, slice up and enjoy!
