Beer Can Chicken

This isn't so much of a recipe as it is just a cool thing.  On Sunday night Tomcat and I made a beer can chicken.  It. was. awesome.  We got the grill going with some charcoal and woodchips, put a basic rub on the bird, and popped her on a beer can.

Final product.

We served this up with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and roasted cauliflower.  It was a delicious meal.  The chicken smelled like bacon when we took it off the grill.  That's probably due to the smokiness and the brown sugar that was in the rub.  It was so tender and juicy.  Highly recommended!

I plan to try out a new recipe tonight - don't know what yet.  Look for another post from me tomorrow.

  1. How long did it take? Did you cover it while it cooked?

  2. Covered it and it took about an hour and a quarter over indirect heat.
