I made a beer can chicken in the oven last week, it was so moist and juicy—very tasty!

Beer Butt Chicken.

One whole chicken defrosted, giblets removed.
Season chicken as desired..he used garlic powder, onion powder, Lawry’s seasoning salt, and black pepper. Open one can of beer, your desired brand. Place chicken over opened beer can, pushing the can into the cavity. Place chicken on BBQ using the can to hold the chicken up. Roast for about an hour, chicken is done when juices run clear.

We’re trying it out tonight and it smells SO good!

Makes 8 servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Grill: 60 minutes

Ingredients
2 cups hickory or apple wood chips
4 12-ounce cans beer
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3 whole 3- to 3 1/4-pound chickens

Directions
1. Combine wood chips and one can of the beer in a small foil pan. Let stand 1 hour.
2. For spice rub, combine paprika, onion powder, cumin, salt, red and white pepper, and sugar in a small bowl. Divide and sprinkle 1 tablespoon rub into the cavity of each chicken. Sprinkle remaining rub evenly over surface of chickens. If desired, lace each chicken in a large plastic storage bag, seal and refrigerate overnight. Open the remaining 3 beer cans and stand on a work surface with chicken. Punch 2 additional holes in top of each can. Holding each chicken upright, place it over the can so that the can goes into main cavity. Pull chicken legs forward to form a sort of tripod, allowing the chicken to sit upright over can.
3. Prepare grill for indirect grilling. For gas: Drain wood chips; place chips in a small foil pan in front left-hand corner of the grill. Add 1/2 cup water. Place a large disposable foil pan in center of bottom grate. Add 2 cups water. Replace top cooking grate. Close lid and heat burners on medium, 10 to 15 minutes. To grill, adjust burner controls. Be sure to position chickens in center of grill and turn off heat source directly under the chicken. (For triple-burner grill, turn center burner off.) Cover and grill 60 to 70 minutes (reduce heat if necessary to maintain heat at 350 degrees F.) until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in thigh registers 180 degrees F.
For charcoal briquettes: Open all vents. Build two equal piles of briquettes (30 to 50 total, depending on the size of your grill) opposite each other on bottom grate near the grate¿s edge. Ignite and burn briquettes 25 to 30 minutes until coals are covered with a light coating of gray ash. Place a disposable foil drip pan in center of bottom grate. Add 2 cups water. Transfer chickens to center of grate over drip pan. Drain wood chips and add 1 cup chips to top of each pile of hot briquettes. Cover and grill 60 to 70 minutes, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in thigh registers 180 degrees F.
4. Carefully remove chickens and cans from grill. Insert a large fork into the neck of each chicken and lift the chickens, holding each can with an oven mitt to remove from chicken. Transfer to a serving platter. Makes 8 servings.
