Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat.
  2. In a small skillet, melt 1/2 cup butter. Mix in 1 tablespoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Discard 1/2 the beer, leaving the remainder in the can. Add remaining butter, garlic salt, paprika, and desired amount of salt and pepper to beer can. Place can on a disposable baking sheet. Set chicken on can, inserting can into the cavity of the chicken. Baste chicken with the melted, seasoned butter.
  4. Place baking sheet with beer and chicken on the prepared grill. Cook over low heat for about 3 hours, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).

Yield: 8 servings

3. Still Hungry?

This is a bit unorthodox, but the end result is moist, flavorful and amazing. All you'll need is some chicken, butter, beer, and seasonings.

    My family loved it. It was so simple. I cooked mine in a hour and 15 on a higher heat. It is super moist on the inside and crispy on the outside!!!
